Information:

 

Mandarin Chinese is offered at C.J. Hooker Middle School via video conference through Orange-Ulster BOCES.  The instructors are Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. He, and Ms. Gao who teach from the Harriman Learning Center.  Ms. Gao is teaching 6th grade Chinese from 2:15-3:00pm and Mrs. He is teaching 7th grade Chinese 1st period (7:40-8:23am) and Mr. O'Neill is teaching 8th grade Chinese 6th period. 

 

A note from Mr. Lewis:


It is essential that students attend class regularly and arrive on time. The fact that this is a distance learning class makes it very difficult (or in some cases, impossible) for students to make up missed work.  Please make every attempt to schedule appointments around Mandarin Chinese class.  For 7th grade students, please arrive to school ON TIME.  Entering class late will be a major distraction to your classmates and the instructor.  If lateness becomes a problem, after school detentions will be issued. 

 

Students should expect 15-30 minutes of written homework per evening.  In addition, students should be studying (pronunciation, characters, pinyin, etc...) and using moodle (more info coming soon) for an additional 15-30 minutes daily. Please keep in mind that this program is the equivalent of an honors level class that requires increased time and commitment.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding homework, they should be directed to Ms. Gao, Mr. O'Neill, or Mrs. He.

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING GRADES, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO MR. O'NEILL (8th GRADE), MRS. HE (7th GRADE), OR MS. GAO (6th GRADE).  E-MAIL ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS ARE POSTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
