To develop students’ reading motivation and habits, teachers introduce books in Mandarin/Chinese classes, and give instructions to reading strategies/skills.
The school library is also a good place for teachers to implement D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read).
Chiao Hsin Elementary School is famous for Art Education in Changhua. The Chiao Hsin School Art museum was established in 2007. It holds many exhibitions of students’ or artists’ art work.
To provide students with opportunities to appreciate the beauty of art works, many teachers take students to the school art museum in art classes.
