Please read the message below from Lourdes Hubard, owner at Totus Lingua.
Dear Bennett Day School Families,
Welcome to Totus Lingua!!!
Totus Lingua provides language services to schools, daycares and play spaces. We are licensees of The Language Workshop for Children in New York. It is an honor for our team to now be part of the Bennett Day School Community! I am Lourdes Hubard, owner at Totus Lingua, and I promise you we will do our best at teaching Mandarin Chinese to your children.
The Mandarin teacher's name is Ms. Selina Li. She was born and raised in China. She majored in Education. She has lived in Chicago for the last 5 years. I am sure that your kids will love and enjoy Ms. Selina's class!
Last Friday's class your children received a Story Book (coloring book), and a Songs & More Book including a CD. Please make sure to keep them at home, so your children can practice by listening to the CD which contains all the songs, vocabulary and story that the children are learning in this session. We will be sending you a weekly report to inform you of the vocabulary, story part and song that we are teaching each week.
Your children also received a Parent's Guide. This guide answers the questions that parents and the media often ask. Reading this guide not only acquaints you with all the fundamentals at play when your child starts to speak, but helps you understand the country's pioneering children's language educational play method: The Language Workshop for Children's Thibaut Technique.
I invite you all to check our website www.totuslingua.com and to follow us on www.facebook.com/totuslingua
I am very excited to start this new journey and to be a part of the Bennett Day School community!
Best regards,
Lourdes Hubard
