This document provides information for parents about the Grade 3 Mandarin preparatory class curriculum at an international school. It outlines what students will learn in Chinese language and literature, how students' learning will be assessed through formative and summative assessments, and how parents can support their child's Chinese language development at home. Key areas of study include How the World Works, How We Express Ourselves, and Sharing the Planet. Students will be assessed through observations, performances, selected responses, and open-ended tasks. Parents are encouraged to check homework, read with their child, and expose them to the Chinese environment.
