Taipei Xinmin Private Elementary
School
2017 Winter Homework
This year we
have 3 weeks of winter vacation. It starts January 19th and
continues until the new semester begins on Monday, February 13th. The
kids will have a fun project to do during the holiday.
With
mom and dad’s help, film a video log showing what you did over the winter
vacation. Put the video on a USB stick so we can display it on our Smart board
in class. Once the semester begins we will conduct a short and easy “show and
tell” with your video. So take lots of pictures while your whole family is
cleaning the house before New Year’s Day… on vacation in a foreign country…or
visiting relatives around Taiwan. What traditions do your family have to celebrate
the New Year? Try to take the video and pictures yourself (selfie).
When you are
doing your “Show N Tell” in class, say a short description (4 or 5 sentences)
talking about your illustration and why it was the best, coolest, most awesome
thing you did. That’s all!
On your own,
you might want to ask mom and dad to take you to a bookstore and get a few
books to read. The more you read, the better you write, and the best schools
always take the best writers. Also, it will make your school life so much
easier if you read lots of books during your free time. Start a new good habit,
this vacation and read as much as you can…whenever you can. Leaders are
Readers.
If you didn’t get enough
stars during this fall semester, don’t worry. You’ll have a fresh start when
the spring semester begins. Have a great Chinese New Year and I’ll see you all
on Monday, February 13th, 2017 at 7:50 in the morning. Enjoy your
vacation and have lots of quality family time!
See you in February,
Mr. David Lam 304
