๐ŸŒฟ Welcome to a summer Chinese classroom

Hi, I'm Grace
Let's learn Chinese through stories and play

Here you'll find the slides, worksheets, activities and mini games I use in class, plus a little corner for the work my students and I have made together. Take your time โ€” it's a bit like wandering through a summer hillside.

About Me

Teacher Grace

Hi, I'm Grace, a Chinese teacher. I believe the best way into a language is through stories, play and hands-on activities โ€” not rote memorization. This site is where I've organized the materials I use in class, so I can share them with my students easily, and hopefully one day welcome online learners too.

Whether you're just starting out with pinyin or already reading short passages and keeping a journal, you'll find something here for you.

My Teaching Journey

From the first time I stood in front of a class to turning that experience into this site โ€” here's the road we've walked together.

Where it began

"Ms. Grace, can you say that again?"

In my first small-group class, I noticed rote memorization was forgotten within days โ€” but a story, a round of role-play, and kids would ask to do it again on their own. That request became the starting point for how I teach.

Growing up

From one lesson to a full curriculum

Little by little, scattered slides and worksheets grew into structured beginner and advanced courses. I started organizing every material carefully, so nothing was just a one-time handout.

A turning point

Making learning something to look forward to

Once I added classroom games and interactive activities, I noticed students started looking forward to Chinese class โ€” which convinced me good design matters more than repetition ever could.

Right now

Bringing the classroom to this hillside

This site is the first step in turning years of teaching into something lasting โ€” and the starting point for the online Chinese classes I hope to open, to reach even more students.
