About Me

I’m Na Luo, I used to be a high school English teacher in China. I also taught Kindergarten and 1st grade Mandarin in San Diego. I love kids and teaching Mandarin. I also like reading and traveling.

Please note:  You do NOT need to purchase any items on the general RSA school list

PLEASE BRING THESE ITEMS TO SCHOOL WHEN YOU COME FOR MEET THE TEACHER.

Please do not label any of these items – with the exception of your child’s backpack, folders, water bottle, & pencil pouches.

•      4 sets of 10 count Crayola Twistable Crayons (2 for each class, one set put in the pouch and the other set for the class)
•      2 boxes of SHARPENED #2 pencils (One for each class, the Ticonderoga brand sharpens the best and last the longest)
•      2 reams of white copy paper (One for each class)
•      2 metal zipper Binder Pouches labeled on the front of the pouch with their first and last name (please place one set of the twistable crayons inside one pouch without the crayon box; the other pouch is saved for later use) (See photo below for example of what these pouches look like)
•      2 boxes of Kleenex (one for each class)
•      8 glue sticks (4 for each class)
•      2 sets of headphones-labeled for each class- (no ear buds, please)
•      Water bottle with top/spout (Labeled with your child’s name)
•      Backpack – PLEASE NO ROLLING BACKPACKS – They are a tripping hazard and take up too much space in the room (Label with your child’s name- large enough to hold at least an 8 ½ by 11 size folder, a lunch box, and a jacket.)
•      2 folders (one for each class)
•      4 cans of playdohs (2 for each class)

This is an example of the binder pouch needed for class supplies:

Hello My Dear Kindergartener:

     Welcome to Kindergarten Mandarin class! I am excited to have you in my class this year. You are going to have so much fun learning and making new friends. This year we will learn how to speak family members, age, colors, clothes, sports, weather, plants, vehicles, animals, food, fruit in Mandarin, how to write our Mandarin names, read Mandarin level books, count to 100 in Mandarin, & learn some song movements. We’ll also be engaged in some Chinese cultural activities like Moon festival, Chinese New Year, Dragon boat festival, and much more. I am excited to meet you and begin our year of learning and fun!

Your Mandarin Teacher,

Ms. Luo / Luo Laoshi
