Message from the Principal

Dear CCS Parents,

After the Thanksgiving holiday, the Christmas holiday is about to begin. December 13 is the last day of class in 2024. On that day, Santa Claus will go to each class to distribute Christmas gifts to students and take class photos. All photos will be inthe January CCS Newsletter. The school will be closed for three weeks starting from December 20 and will resume classes on 1/10/2025 next year.

The Northern California Chinese School Association (ANCCS) holds a creative little chef competition. As long as your children use their creativity to cook at home, shoot and upload videos, they may win grand prizes. For details, please visit the official website of the ANCCS (https://www.anccs.org/) to learn about and sign up.

CCS fundraising event is about to end. We hope that parents can donate to help the school purchase snacks and game equipment for the children to use for recess time. Thank you for your support.

I wish you all a happy Christmas and New Year holidays!!

Meichu Wu
CCS Principal

“Little Chef Creative Video Competition”

The Purpose is to bridge Chinese language learning with real-life applications. By means of the Little Master Chef Creative Speech Contest, we hope to inspire students to achieve the following five goals:

1. Enhanced Interest in Chinese Language: By integrating the language learning into daily situations that they are likely to encounter, students improve their language proficiency and recognize the practical value of language skills.
2. Immersed in Taiwanese Culture: Through culinary exploration of Taiwanese dishes, students cultivate a deeper appreciation for Taiwan and a stronger sense of cultural identity and pride.
3. Engaged with Family Members: Collaboration between parents and children fortifies familial bonds as they share recipes and cooking skills while working together on speech preparation.
4. Reinforced communication skills: By mimicking the cooking scenarios and expressing their creativity side by side, students practice Chinese in contexts, effectively expanding their functional vocabularies.
5. Fostering Personal Growth: Preparing and delivering a speech builds confidence in public speaking, empowers students to express themselves, and develops their stage charisma.
