January Event Recaps:

3rd - 5th Games in Chinese

Chinese Mad Libs, word searches, and more character games! We also had a Chinese card game and jump rope. Thank you to all the CI students and families that participated! This is one event I think the volunteers enjoyed just as much as the students!

Kindergarten Round Up

Kindergarten families gathered at local schools to learn about what school will look like for their child. Every elementary school included a slide about the D220 special programs including Chinese Immersion. On February 7th there was a zoom call with families interested in the CI program. Ms. Chin and Ms. McKee were on the call and are very excited to welcome new Kindergarteners in August 2024!

Lunar New Year Story Time

Parade dragon, books, songs and games! It was a wonderful time focused on Chinese New Year's traditions and the year of the dragon. I was quite impressed to have the students sing the whole ι’‚εδΊŒη”Ÿθ‚–ζ­Œ without needing the words or music! The volunteers were wonderful too!

Chinese New Year Symphonic Concert

BCIC wants to thank the Chinese Consulate for generously inviting our CI families to the concert. Beautiful music was played and they even had a traditional Chinese instrument, the pipa. Our family truly enjoyed it as did many others.
