REDDING SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

雷丁艺术学校

A HANBAN CONFUCIUS CLASSROOM SCHOOL

Welcome parents, students, and visitors to Mr. Dressel’s (“Teacher Mai”) school website. Throughout the school year, you will come here to find information about what’s happening in your child’s Mandarin class. This website will exist to keep you up-to-date on the events and learning taking place in your child’s classroom. It also provides you with the opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher.

The resources are usually updated by Sunday night each week. I encourage you to click on a few and check them out.

A nearly exhaustive, comprehensive internet source for all things Chinese can be found at the following website:
