弹琴完，照例和crystal一起送老师出门。然后我们一起绕小区跑了7圈，锻炼身体还是要坚持的。
昨晚睡前继续你一页我一页地朗读《老鼠记者》之《环保鼠勇闯澳洲》一个章节。
早上看了好奇猴第三集和粉红猪2集。做夺车法4题。路上听幼儿故事之道德篇和学习篇，主要是韦编三绝、五子登科、苏秦刺股等。
早上听说有的孩子报名都准备了简历，看来我们也要把希望之星英语大赛一等奖的证书去找出来了。
下午的国际象棋，由于爸爸启用了新的软件，卡斯帕罗夫象棋大师，难度一下子大了不少，又是立体图形，她经常点错格子，她请求爸爸帮助，最后在爸爸的帮助下还是赢了。下次还是得让她一个人下。
卡由游戏是river clear。就是清理河中的垃圾，熟悉那些物品的说法。回家路上听三字经趣味故事。
回到家吃零食，迫不及待地写完一页字，到楼下和小朋友会和，玩游戏。
吃完饭，看了一集卡由。休息下，开始练琴，由于中午没睡好，到琴上就看得出来，速度上不去。只好把曲子放慢过一遍，新曲子塔兰泰拉识谱试唱，大概熟悉下。尽管明日要听音乐会，到明早要拍毕业照，还是早点休息吧。
早7点起床，叠被，听frog and toad。刷牙，早餐，出发。路上听开天辟地等中国神话故事。幼儿园今天拍毕业照。小朋友们都早早到了班上，开始阅读绘本。
下午先买了一本获得美国亲子阅读金奖的《卡夫卡变虫记》，然后下棋，由于下棋软件提高了难度，想赢棋变得困难多了，下到5点40还没结果，只得退出，去食堂吃饭。
吃完饭，赶到d大礼堂，今晚有该校111周年的一个活动，请来了印度nirmal sangeet sarita乐队，举办音乐会。这个乐队在印度乃至世界享有很高的声誉，机会难得，尽管crystal还未必听得懂，但我们还是要挤出时间，去欣赏天籁之音。
睡前2人一人一页地快速读完一章老鼠记者

或许昨晚比较累，今日起床有点晚。只听了典范英语4A的16课，做国际象棋夺车法2题，其中一题有些难，要先弃象，再后击杀双。2人一起把老鼠记者之《环保鼠勇闯澳洲》之剩余部分看完，路上听日月潭的来历。
下午和软件下棋，爸爸先把棋盘改成了平面，这样习惯多了，由于提高了对手的经验值，对手下出来的棋明显漏洞少了，最后在爸爸的指点下，还是赢了。
晚上的写字课，是最后的复习课，讲解了前面上课的内容，比如先点后撇，写字要有肩膀等。到家继续熟悉塔兰泰拉和练习音阶，特别注意左手。今天打印的老鼠记者英文版还没来得及看。
20130607
早上起床，听典范英语4A的第17课，中间crystal笑了起来，说她也被那些click，click来逗那个princess笑的人都笑了。这一课我们还没看书，还没看到文字，她能够小起来，证明她听懂了。
随后听着天空之城的音乐，做夺马法6题。
今天下大雨，早点出发，路上继续日月潭的传说和其他故事。
加州G1U5T2备课计划
这次的select课文是《frog and toad》
先让她们观察主人公，找出青蛙和蟾蜍的不同，比如皮肤光滑、腿长善跳、绿色的是青蛙，再介绍蟾蜍的药用价值。
然后介绍洛贝尔写的这一套绘本共4本，每本5个故事，要求他们课后至少读其中的一个故事。
Let’s read the title of this story together: The Kite. This story comes from a book titled Days with Frog and Toad.
■ The characters in this book are named Frog and Toad. They have a kite.
■ Frog is holding the kite. Toad is holding a ball of string for the kite. What is Frog holding? (a kite) What is Toad holding? (a ball of string)
■ Now look at the birds in the picture. The birds are robins. Say the word robins with me: robins. The robins look like they are laughing at Frog and Toad. I wonder why the robins are laughing at Frog and Toad with their kite.
■ Let’s read the story to find out what happens when Frog and Toad fly the kite.
A meadow is a grassy field. The wind can be strong in a meadow because a meadow does not have a lot of trees to block the wind. Why do Frog and Toad go to the meadow? (to fly a kite)
Think of a time that you flew a kite or saw someone else fly a kite. Tell your partner what you did or saw. (Response is open.)
Let’s read what Frog says to Toad at the beginning of the story. Look for the words in quotation marks. (Point to quotation marks in the text.) The words in quotation marks are the words that Frog says aloud.
■ Now read the words with me: “Our kite will fly up and up. It will fly all the way up to the top of the sky.”
■ The sky does not really have a top, but we often say that something very high is at the top of the sky. Which of these would you say flies at the top of the sky—a plane or a butterfly? (a plane)
Look at Frog and Toad in this picture. Frog and Toad are in the meadow. Frog is pointing up to the sky. Let’s all point up to the sky like Frog is doing. (Demonstrate pointing up.)
Frog and Toad want to fly the kite in the sky. What will Frog do to get the kite into the sky? (Frog will hold the ball of string.) What will Toad do to get the kite into the sky? (Toad will hold the kite and run.)
meadow. His short legs are moving fast. His kite starts to go up into the air. Then what happens to the kite? (The kite falls to the ground with a bump.)
Frog and Toad want to fly their kite, but they have a problem. What is their problem? (The kite won’t stay up in the air.)
■ What does Toad hear when the kite falls to the ground? (laughter) Who is laughing? (the three robins)
Point to the robins laughing in the picture. Let’s count them: one, two, three. (Point to the robins as you count.) Now let’s try to sound like laughing robins: Hee, hee! Cheep, cheep! Ha, ha! Peep, peep! Let’s read aloud what the robins say to Toad: “That kite will not fly. You may as well give up.” When you give up, you stop trying.
■ Toad runs back to Frog. Does Toad believe what the robins tell him? (yes) How do you know? (Toad tells Frog the same thing that the robins say. He tells Frog that the kite will not fly. He tells Frog that he gives up.)
Look at Toad talking to Frog in the picture. Pretend that you are Toad. Tell Frog that you give up. Say: I give up.
When you make a second try, you try again after trying one time.
Look at Frog’s words after he tells Toad that they must make a second try. (Point to the words.) Let’s read Frog’s words together: “Wave the kite over your head. Perhaps that will make it fly.” The word perhaps means “maybe.”
■ Point to Toad in the picture. What is Toad doing as he runs back across the meadow? (Toad is waving the kite over his head.)
■ Now let’s pretend to be Toad and wave the kite over our heads. (Demonstrate the action.)
Frog and Toad are still having a problem with the kite! What happens to the kite this time? (The kite goes up and then falls down with a thud.) You would hear a thud if you dropped a heavy book on the floor. (Demonstrate by dropping a book with a thud.)
■ Those silly robins are still watching Toad as he tries to fly the kite. Let’s read their words aloud: “What a joke! That kite will never get off the ground.”
■ Take a look at Toad in the picture. What would you say to the robins if you were Toad? (Question is open.)
Think about what Frog and Toad have done so far to try to get the kite to fly. Do you think they should give up trying to fly the kite? Tell your partner why or why not. (Response is open.)
Look at Toad in the picture. What is he doing? (Toad is taking the kite back to Frog.) Toad looks like he has worked hard to try to get the kite into the air!
■ Let’s read aloud what Toad says when he takes the kite back to Frog: “This kite is a joke. It will never get off the ground.” Who else said this about the kite? (The robins did.)
■ Frog tells Toad that they will have to make a third try.
Hold up your fingers as we count the tries: first try,
second try, third try. (Hold up a corresponding number of fingers.)
What does Frog tell Toad to do next to solve the problem of getting the kite up into the air? (Frog tells Toad to wave the kite over his head and jump up and down.)
■ Let’s act out what Frog wants Toad to do. (Pantomime holding and waving a kite over your head as you jump up and down.)
Toad waves the kite over his head. What else does he do? (He jumps up and down.) What happens this time? (The kite goes up in the air. Then it crashes down into the grass. )
■ Let’s read what the robins say to Toad: “That kite is junk. Throw it away and go home.”
Do you think that Frog and Toad should throw away the kite and go home? Tell your partner why or why not. (Question is open.)
When Toad goes back to Frog, he says the same thing that the robins say. He tells Frog that the kite is junk. He says they should throw it away and go home. Does Frog think that he and Toad should give up? (No. Frog says they need one more try.)
■ Let’s count down to the seventh line on this page. Then let’s read aloud what Frog tells Toad to do next : “Wave the kite over your head. Jump up and down and shout UP KITE UP.”
■ How did we say the words UP KITE UP? (in a loud voice) Yes, we said the words in a loud voice. We used a loud voice because the words are printed in capital letters.
We said the words like Frog wants Toad to say them.
■ Now let’s pretend to wave the kite over our heads, jump up and down, and shout UP KITE UP. (Pantomime the actions as you say the words.)
Toad does what Frog tells him to do. Do you think this will solve the problem of getting the kite into the air? Why or why not? (Question is open.)
Let’s read about the kite together: The kite flew into the air. It climbed higher and higher.
■ Point to the kite in the picture. The kite is flying high in the air! Pretend that you and your partner are two of the robins in the picture. What would you say to each other about the kite? (Question is open.)
Frog and Toad wanted to get the kite into the sky.
Did a running try work? (no) Did a running and waving try work? (no) Did a running, waving, and jumping try work? (no) What finally worked? (Toad made a running, waving, jumping, and shouting try.)
■ We can learn a lesson from Frog and Toad in this story.
Say the lesson after me: Don’t give up. Try again and again until your problem is solved.
Let’s read the first three lines together. The robins flew out of the bush. But they could not fly as high as the kite. What did the robins do when the kite flew into the air? (They flew out of the bush.) Could they fly as high as the kite? (no)
■ Do you think the robins were surprised that they couldn’t fly as high as the kite? Why or why not? (The robins were probably surprised. They didn’t think the kite would get off the ground. They told Toad to give up.)Let’s read the last two sentences together: Frog and Toad sat and watched their kite. It seemed to be flying way up at the top of the sky.
■ Point to the word watched. The word watched means “looked at.” What letters are added to the base word watch to make the word watched? (the letters -ed) What other word ends with -ed on this page? (seemed) Look at Frog and Toad flying their kite. Pretend that you and your partner are Frog and Toad. What would you say to each other as you watched your kite fly way up at the top of the sky? Act out the end of the story together. (Response is open.)
下午花了15分钟下棋，共28步赢棋。但其实最后一步一步杀，ctystal其实没看出来，爸爸看到的，她才知道居然有一步杀。孩子还是有很多棋看不出来啊。
临回家前，办公室同事孩子马上小升初，正在做英语试题，crystal把阅读理解题目读了一段，同事孩子很惊奇，crystal得意洋洋地回家了。
回到家，爸爸和crystal以谁是silly的方式又做了3道夺马法，自然是爸爸是silly dad。高兴地写字一页，今天写的是马，鱼，渔，南，里。
晚上弹琴根据陈老师的要求，先慢速逐渐提高速度，一定要掌握指法。离考试还有2个月差点，不用急。昨天午睡没睡，弹到后来困得很，只好收工，结果她一收工又不那么困了。
睡觉前准备为端午期间出游下单，结果携程价格上涨，还取消了会员积分兑换的优惠，看来携程还真是早订早优惠啊。
6月8日
今早听了frog and toad are friends，这是一套中的一个故事。然后做夺马法3题，现在的题目有些难呢，思路打不开的话还真想不到。最后一题爸爸一直觉得可能图划错了，爸爸看了答案都不明白。
路上听故事。
下午原计划是另一个伙伴来我们家上加州，结果人家家长有事，爸爸去她家上课。于是只好先送crydtal去桃家先玩，爸爸回家拿书。这一来一去，就得多花近40分钟啊，很是心疼。
今天的课按备课计划，讲了青蛙和蟾蜍的区别，介绍了这一套书。然后讲了giveup等几个关键词，让孩子们逐句朗读。也让她们talkabout那些canfly的东西，基本达到目标。
讲完课出门来已快7时半，忽然想起今晚7时半还有ian老师的公益口语课，crystal想上，于是加速赶去，还是迟到了。今天主要讲nationalholiday以及howareyou going tospendyourdragonboatfestval？
6月9日
早上听加州课文the kite及同套书的forg and toad，听久石让的天空之城，做夺马法6题。有的题目她做不出（实际上第一步是对的），爸爸也思路转换不过来，还把crystal做的方案给否定了，说那样不吃亏了，把后丢了，实际上看了答案才想起来车是可以再把后吃回来的，看来年纪大了，思维定势啊。
下午继续和卡斯帕罗夫软件下棋，今天对手下了几步臭棋，crystal抓住机会，优势明显，杀得对手只剩单王，她还有后和2个车加5个兵，下到48步时，爸爸提醒她必须在2步之内将死对方，否则就只能遗憾地和棋了。这家伙居然利用兵的保护，竟然真的走了个两步杀，成功赢棋。
今天新上了一个英语游戏网站，以游戏的方式学英语，比如可以进行单词搭配，可以听英语歌曲，crystal又玩得很fun。但今天在玩恐龙身体部位名称时，有几个单词还没掌握，填错了位置。
由于本周练琴有所中断，周三听音乐会，周四写字，周六加州，今晚的急板竟然比上周差多了，明天就要汇报的，字还没写，怎么办呢？
今天是小学报名的日子，所以只听了典范和frogandtoad，出发，到L小的时候，已经排到了72号。到教室门口见到一个穿她们幼儿园园服的孩子，crystal认识，这样又多了一个老朋友继续小学同学。填表后，她自己拿着成长册去面试，约10多分钟高兴地出来，说好玩，就是些跳绳拍球画画还有道数学题有点难，不过她想了一会儿还是答对了，老师还奖励了贴花。但有道记忆的题目，她有个东西没想起来。总体还是不错的，说下次再来玩。
中午请妈妈的大学老师吃饭，然后赶到国际象棋教室，课已经上了大半，同学们正在下棋，crystal和其中一个下，优势明显，最后一步杀赢棋，可惜今天老师忘了计入总成绩。买了高级分册。然后去医院探望太婆。
