PLS - Mandarin 1 - 2025-2026

East Bay Chinese School is proud to partner with Piedmont Language School(PLS) in offering in-person Mandarin classes. The PLS Mandarin 1 class is for students who have had some exposure to Mandarin and reading and writing pin yin.
Chinese Wonderland Book 1.
The tone of these classes is having fun with the language. The goal is to help students know how to introduce themselves, their family, their hobbies, food, and the color of clothes.
Students will learn the basic sentence structures and vocabulary in Book 1. We utilize level 1 textbooks, worksheet, hands-on activities, games, art, and crafts.
Students will start to learn PinYin at this level. There is 10-15 minutes of light, age-appropriate homework on a weekly basis to reinforce classroom learnings.
Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:20-4:20pm at Piedmont Middle School (classroom TBD).
Instructional calendar will follow the Piedmont Unified School District calendar and its noted holidays and non-instruction days.
No classes will be held the week of Thanksgiving, Winter Break (12/19/25 - 1/12/26), President's Week, and Spring Break.
No classes will be held on when the elementary schools have minimum days for Open House and Back to School Night.
