Meet Our New Student From China (A Robbie Reader) (Robbie Readers)

Everywhere across the United States, children from other countries are joining American classrooms. How can their classmates prepare? Learning about the culture, geography, and history of the new student s native country can help smooth the transition. Greeting the student with a few words in his or her language, making a traditional craft, and whipping up a well-known dish are all sure to help the child feel welcome. In this vibrant and colorful series, students and teachers can find out how to Meet a New Student and maybe make a new friend. A new student from China is joining Ashley s third-grade class in Boulder, Colorado. The whole class wants to help welcome Cui Ping, so they are eager to learn as much as they can about her country. Join them as they learn about power struggles in ancient dynasties and how bronze was used. See the magnificent artistry in colossal achievements such as the Great Wall and the Giant Buddha of Leshan. Find out what kinds of things Americans buy from China, and discover some fun Chinese games like tiaoban (seesaw jumping!). Then join Ashley and her class in preparing some almond cookies and tea and welcoming a New Student from China. Hen hao!
