DMIS Houses Chinese Art and Literacy Laboratory

kashley — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:51:20 +0000

DMIS is proud to announce that we are working with the Denver Confucius Classroom (DCC) to establish a Chinese Art and Literacy Laboratory (CALL) in the Mandarin 4th and 5th grade classroom at DMIS. This is the first CALL to be housed at a school in the Denver area. We believe that the East and West have much to learn from and give to one another. By becoming literate in each other’s language, art and culture we are able to increase our understanding of both cultures. The Chinese Art and Literacy Laboratory (CALL) is a living experiment to create this shared literacy. CALL will conduct the following programs and other activities related to developing literacy in Chinese language, art and culture: (1). Develop activities to celebrate Chinese traditional festivals each year; (2). Hold Chinese calligraphy and reading contest(s) for students each year; and (3). Teach language, art and culture seminars for adults each year (in addition to our daily instruction of children). We are thrilled to host the first CALL in the Denver area.
