This past quarter in Mandarin, we learned about the different school supplies such as, 尺子，剪刀，笔，毛笔，橡皮，和 书。Which means: ruler, scissors, pen, calligraphy brush, eraser, and book. We also studied class greetings like 老师好 which means hello teacher. One other thing we’ve learned this quarter is how to do calligraphy. We learned how to use a calligraphy brush (毛笔). We learned on a quick dry writing pad so we could try writing the characters multiple times. Lastly we learned about the chinese new year. 新年快乐！ That means Happy New Year!
