From principal Tang:
Dear boarad members,
I would like to call for your attention on one major issue: classroom shortage next school year.
We need to act fast to solve this issue because next year we definitely have classroom shortage problems.
This year we managed to combine PReK A and B classes to share one classroom. So far, the teachers have been struggling to teach two classes during 2nd period.
CSD administrators will discuss with two teachers on Sunday to help their problems. However I can assure you that teachers do NOT like the idea of combining classes to share one classroom.
Before we made such adjustment, all was talk. No teacher has actually taught in such a scenario. Now two teachers are actually teaching such combination classes and so far, they really do have problems. They have expressed the wishes to either find another classroom or move up A class to 1 pM.
I think in the next board meeting, board members should really look into next year’s classroom arrangement first.
Thanks n regards,
Fancia

Sining Chinese children songs, doing art and craft, and using games for reviewing taught lessons are useful for combined period. However, the classroom shortage problem still need to be solved ASAP.

From Eric, school board member:
Fancia:
Do we need to split preKA and preKB this year? Your note was not clear.
Ivan did a lot of work on space utilitization. My view is that our long term plan was to stagger classes. We should start with preKA and preKB so that this is the only system they know.
Chinese school tried to run preKA and preKB together. Chinese school did not like it. We need plan B and how to migrate.
Eric.
