DMIS Chinese program elementary classes have been using Language and Math text books from Beijing Normal University Publishing Group who is the one of major professional publishes in China.  Lately, our school last year second grade class learning video has been posted on their website.

We are the only one Chinese language program has very close relationship with the editors in USA. They are not only providing online resources and supports to our teachers, also listen to our feedback very often.

Last year, when our 4th and 5th grades had trip in China, the chief editor of math text book came to our hotel to meet our 5th grade students, he recognized that DMIS students have outstanding math skills.

Panda Expectations

Dear Chinese Program Parents:

Chinese program will start Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program from K3 through 5th grade in 2013-2014 school year. It will support and reinforce appropriate behavior in school and help eliminate negative, problem behaviors. PBIS has proven to be significantly better than the old methods of punish and suspend.

We expect all of our students to Be PANDA

P-Positive  态度积极  (Have a positive attitude about school and others)

A-Achievement 实现目标 (set goals, make a plan and take steps to reach those goals)

N-Nice 与人为善 (use manners, be polite and respectful towards everyone)

D-Discipline 严于律己 （respect and follow rules, to practice self -control)

A-Academic 努力学习 (success do your very best academically)

           

In essence, students receive incentives for positive behavior. The details will be refined as our team learns what is most motivating for the children.

Please take this opportunity to talk to your child about the expectations at school and the importance of continuing to demonstrate PANDA behaviors.  With your continued support and involvement.

Sincerely

Chinese Program Teachers

Letter to 5th Grade Parents

Dear Parents:

Welcome back to school!

The new academic year will bring with it many new challenges and many new rewards. There will be new teachers to meet, new books to read, new friends to meet, new skills to master — and I hope that you will be able to share in these exciting times.

DMIS provides all school supplies, including some folders . This allows students to organize notes and homework that should be brought back and forth to school daily.  All students work will be kept in a big binders at school. We have labeled all items prominently with your child’s first and last name as well as grade for easy identification.  DMIS also provides each student a T-shirt and a cap which will be worn on field trips.

I encourage you and your child to check our 5th grade blog (www.dmisyun.blogspot.com at least once a week, because there are many listening, reading resources have been uploaded in past three years. You can find updated useful information about reminders, classroom activities and field trip pictures.

Your student should bring a library book home every Monday. Please allow him/her read it 10-15 minutes a day, plus doing assigned Chinese and Math homework. We appreciate you putting the book in his/her backpack on Sunday evenings so that they can get it returned on time. 

Our Chinese program will start Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) from K3 through 5th grade in 2013-2014 school year. Teachers have created a list of "Panda" expectations – P = Positive, A = Achievement, N = Nice, D = Discipline and A = Academics. These help to protect each student’s right to safety, learning and respect. Every student will have many chances to earn Panda prizes by behaving well.

A monthly newsletter will be sent to you by email.  If you have any questions or concerns at any time, you always can reach by email at yun.doyle@dmischool.com.

I am looking forward to a great year working with you and all students! Thank you in advance for your concern and support throughout the year!!!

江蔼婷：
我很喜欢这个名字!
过了一个暑假，好多字都忘了怎么写了，这是自然的。所以我们第一次的测验结果不好，再加上我们好多东西我们还没有学。 没有关系的，我们一起努力，一定会看到进步的。

Please bring a water bottle for your child

Dear teachers and staff,
For environmental reasons, DMIS will no longer provide Styrofoam cups at lunch for the water cooler.  There will still be water available in the cooler but students must have their water bottles in order to receive it, so please encourage them to bring their water bottles to lunch/recess.  This information will be in this week’s Friday folder so that parents are aware of this update.
Thanks,
