We are planning a field trip for the bilingual class on Sunday, April 13. On the day, we will spend the first 90 minutes practicing pinyin and Chinese input on computers. We will also visit the Tzu-chi branch office and learn about the history and background of the Tzu-chi foundation and the HumanisticAcademy. For the remaining time we will practice speaking Chinese to order meals from the menu and taste Taiwanese food. This will give the students a great opportunity to apply what they learned in class.
Time: April 13, 2008 (9:30am – 12:30pm) Place: Metro Square, 3636 Steeles Ave. E, Markham, ONL3R 1K9
Please assemble at the main entrance of Metro Square at 9:30. Contact Stephany if you have any problem getting to the place: 416-889-8688
