This curriculum is written for 2010-2011 Seattle Public Schools FLEX program. It is based on the assumption that classes meet for 30 minutes, three times a week. If your time allocation is different, you will need to do fewer or more of the daily activities during each class session. Use your judgment to make additional adjustments. For example, you may wish to delete, shorten or extend activities or recombine tasks as you modify each unit based on available time and your learners’ needs.

Based on Ohio's K-4 Content-Enriched Mandarin Chinese Curriculum: 1. Enlarge the pictures from each unit and put them in a PPT. Teachers can print them out directly as picture cards or use PPT file in class. 2. Add PPT files and PPT interactive game files for some units so teacher can use PPT in the classroom or print out pictures from PPT files directly. 3. Add “ Notes for Seattle teachers ” in the beginning of each Ohio unit so teachers have other craft ideas and more worksheets to work with the students. 4. Color coded some important lines.  5. Use “Kuaile Hanyu DVD” (Hanban endorsement middle school level books) and “Better Chinese” story books as supplement materials. 6. Divide the curriculum into three levels for Seattle’s program.
