Hi Parents, 

Happy Week 11! We sincerely appreciate your participation in our Jogathon activity and your generous donation. Your contributions are of immense value, and the funds will be utilized to enhance a wide range of extracurricular activities and events, enriching the campus life for our students. As we approach November 3rd, which marks the end of Trimester 1, we want to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of all our TWDL teachers in establishing connections with every parent for parent-teacher conferences. It's important to emphasize that these conferences are primarily focused on supporting students who may benefit from additional academic assistance, but our teachers have gone above and beyond in meeting with all our parents. 

Here is update of Week 11.
非常感谢您参与我们的小马拉松活动以及您慷慨的捐赠。我们所筹集的资金将被用于拓展各种课外活动和多项事宜，丰富我们学生的校园生活。11月3日标志着第一学期的结束，我们所有的TWDL老师与每位家长进行家长会议沟通并分析了您孩子的在校表现和学习状况。需要强调的是，这些会议主要是为了支持可能需要额外学业帮助的学生，但我们的老师超越要求与所有家长见面。给所有的老师👍。以下是第11周的最新动态。

Parent Learning Corner |家长学习角

I would like to remind parents that the content in the "Parent Learning Corner" section of my newsletter is worth reading or watching. This information allows you to connect with parents outside of our school, gain an understanding of how immersion programs benefit our students, and acquire strategies to address the challenges you may be facing. In the video I shared below, which is moderated by the author of the "Parent's Guide to Mandarin Immersion," several parents with children in Mandarin immersion programs share their experiences and challenges.
我想提醒家长，我通讯中的"家长学习角"部分的内容值得一读或观看。这些信息让您能够与我们学校之外的家长建立联系，了解沉浸式教育如何使我们的学生受益，并获取解决您可能面临的挑战的策略。在下面我分享的视频中，由"中文沉浸式教育家长指南"的作者主持，有几位参加中文沉浸式教育计划的家长分享了他们的经验和面临的挑战。

Thank you for your participation in our 1st TWDL parent workshop and for the valuable feedback we received from our parents.

Once again, please don't hesitate to contact me; your input is highly appreciated, and I am committed to enhancing our workshops based on your feedback.
