Problem:
You are an early childhood educator in your current place of residence where you teach three- to four-year-old children. Your director just let you know that you have a new child joining your classroom next week that has recently moved to your community. While you saw the child tour your school, you didn't get to connect with the family while you were teaching. Your director gives you their contact information so you can learn more about your new family. After chatting, this is what you know about your new student. Mei is Chinese and her family is from Hong Kong. You spoke with her father (who calls her his little plum) and found out that she turned three years old last month. She lives with her father and older sister, and her mother passed when she was very little. She speaks Cantonese very well because that is her first language, and she has been learning English for over a year now. Mei loves to sing and play with her five-year- old sister. Mei is raised in the beliefs of Buddhism and it's very important to her father that she learns to behave and follow directions better. He also talked a lot about how Mei has learned a lot from her older sister. Mei's vocabulary knowledge in Cantonese far exceeds those of typical children at her age. He'd like to see advancements in her English vocabulary because he knows that she can do it. Lastly, before you finished chatting you also discovered that Mei's older sister is very motherly and sometimes does things for her. Need Assignment Help?
