好久不见！Hǎojiǔ bùjiàn Long time no see! It is the end of the first Quarter and with it I am sure you have noticed quite a few changes in Chinese at Mid Prairie! The first and biggest change is the addition of Mr. Grant Brown. He comes back to Mid Prairie after spending the last few years living and working in China. Brown Laoshi is now teaching Elementary Chinese at all three of our elementary schools and it is great to have him here. Also, you may have noticed a small change as I have stepped back to a limited role teaching Chinese at Kalona elementary as I am now there to help English language learners in our Elementary schools. I still get to teach Chinese at the middle school and with our new nine week exploratory it is a more intense and purposeful class. We are always seeking to give the best teaching at Mid Prairie and this year is only going to get better and better. Expect to see a lot of changes in the future as we improve things here on the blog and in class. It is always fantastic to teach students at Mid Prairie and with the school's and communities continued support our programs will continue to grow and flourish. Check back often as we post more updates and add more features for students and community members alike. 再见 Zài Jiàn! See you later!
