Mandarin Immersion Parents Council

Sonya Hendren shares these homework videos from the school her son attends in Sacramento,  the Mandarin Immersion Program at William Land Elementary.

Last year, in 1st grade, the teacher had the students record videos as homework, in order to check their individual pronunciation,  as it would take too long during class. The readings were mainly stories or passages that were pre-written, the students would practice them in class, and then record the videos as homework.

Sometimes they were fill-in-the-blank, such as “my favorite color is ____.”

If you’d like to see what first grade homework looks like in other schools, here’s a great chance to compare.
