Dear SCCS Members,

I am pleased to announce that the Southern Connecticut Chinese School (南康中文学校) will offer four additional enrichment classes during the fall semester in order to meet the diverse needs of our students:

1. SSAT Preparation (Grades 6-7)
   Instructor: Mike Patrick
   Course Description:
   The SSAT class will familiarize students with the structure and content of the entrance exam most commonly used by private elementary and secondary schools. Students will complete practice exercises and mock tests. We will discuss strategies, study habits, and test-preparation skills. This class is designed for students in Grades 6 and 7. Time/Location: 1:20-2:05 P.M. /Room B211
   Tuition: $100/semester
   
   
2. ACT Preparation (Middle/High School)
   Instructor: Mike Newcomer
   Course Description:
   The ACT is a standardized test that may be taken in place or in conjunction with the SAT for college admission. This course will cover material that is tested on the ACT and will teach students useful test-taking techniques in order to give them an edge on the test. Students will study from real ACT materials and will be given assignments to bolster the information learned in class. Time/Location: 1:00-2:00 P.M. /Room: C009
   Tuition: $130/semester

   The Eli Whitney Workshop is an experimental learning workshop for students between 7-14. We collect, interpret, and teach experiments that are the roots of design and invention. Please see the attached file for some sample projects.
   Time/Location: 3:10-3:55 P.M.; 4:05-4:50 P.M./Room: C140
   Tuition: $120/6 weeks, including material costs.
   
   

4. Chinese pinyin (Grade 2 and up) 
   Instructor: Ruhua Yang
   Course Description:
   

   Pinyin plays a very important role in Chinese language learning. It helps students pronounce correctly, and memorize the characters. The Chinese pinyin class is designed for students who are interested in improving their pinyin. We strongly encourage students Grade 2 and up who are struggling with pinyin to sign up the class.

   为什么要学好拼音?
   学好拼音是为了学会正确的发音,而正确的发音是中文学习的重要组成部分,对理解、记忆中文有很大的帮助. 同时, 在电子时代, 学好拼音,才能把中文变成电子文本, 快速地交流传递. 为了帮助低年级同学加强、巩固学过的拼音,中文学校计划在 2014年秋季增开拼音强化班, 欢迎 1年级以上的同学报名参加,课程将以强化拼音的听说读写练习为主.

   Time/Location: 4:05-4:50 P.M. /Room: B125
   Tuition: $50/6 weeks
   

Please note that the final list of the enrichment programs is subject to change. We will have to cancel the class if the number of registered students is less than 8. Please let us know if you have any questions on these courses.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Warm Regards,
Henan Cheng, Ed.D., Deputy Principal
