Dear Parents/Guardians: Happy New Year! We want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the students who have participated in our programs! We're very happy to share the great news with you that 126 students’ creative stories have been published this year by the Anthology of Short Stories by Young Americans! In addition, 52 of our students also received scores within the top 15 places state- and nation-wide in the 2012 Math Kangaroo contest! Registration has opened for the Spring 2013 writing classes for 1st - 6th graders at Hope Chinese School (Annandale High School, located at 4700 Medford Drive, Annandale VA 22003). Each class will have between 5 and 8 students. The small class size fosters a very effective learning environment, allowing for more one-on-one interactions between the instructor and the students. The instructor will focus on helping each individual student to develop and expand his/her writing skills. In this writing class, each student will finish at least one writing assignment each week. For the genres of writing, we’ll teach Descriptive Writing, Expository Writing, Journals and Letters, Narrative Writing, Persuasive Writing, and Poetry Writing. Reading is certainly the foundation for writing. We’ll provide students with ample reading and writing samples so that students can read and learn. In 5th grade, students will have to take a writing SOL in early March, which consists of an essay section and a multiple choice section on grammar. This test will measure students’ skills in word choice, grammar usage, sentence structure and certainly the writing skills. This class is a great way to prepare students for their writing SOL. Students who have taken our Writing classes have grown significantly as writers and performed very well on the Writing SOL. We have quite a number of students who achieved a perfect score on the SOL. Many students have also had their stories published in the Anthology of Short Stories by Young Americans. All of the teachers for our weekend classes are certified current FCPS professional teachers with years of teaching experience. They know by heart how to help your children not only meet but exceed grade-level expectations and to perform their best on the tests. These teachers have been specifically requested and praised by both parents and students. Furthermore, parents have expressed their satisfaction that their children have simultaneously enjoyed learning and improved their English and math skills under careful instruction of these teachers at our summer camp and weekend classes. Sunday Classes We will offer English writing classes for 1st- 6th graders. These classes will run for 1 hour. The tuition is $25 per week and $550 for all 22 classes. We will also offer TJ prep classes for 6th - 7th graders. These classes will run for 2 hours. The tuition is $40 per week and $880 for all 22 classes. Location: Annandale High School- 4700 Medford Drive, Annandale, VA 22003-5443 If you are interested in the Sunday classes, please register your child for the Writing at the Hope Chinese School web site (http://www.hcsfx.org/hcsfx/DesktopDefault.aspx) or send an email to sunshine.academy@gmail.com with your child’s name and grade and also the time for which you would like to sign up for.
