Westlane Middle School

 
 
Welcome to our website. Westlane Middle School is a four star school in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is our third year offering Chinese. We have increased from 17 students learning Chinese the first year to 68 students this year!! It has been so much fun learning the language, the culture, the history and anything related to China or Chinese!! We hope you enjoy our website. Highlights: Acrobat at WL in INDY STAR! Learning Chinese: Chinese Pod! We listen to the “radio” on line, then memorize the dialogue. So much fun. We are almost done with 4 episodes, which mean Zhang Laoshi will give us a special treat :-) for the hard word we put in! Mr. Keith, Welcome back! Thank you for coming to our class!! We have learned so much! Please visit Mr. Keith’s blog at http://steveschina.spaces.live.com/ Cards to the community: more photos Christmas cards: Chinese students are making Christmas cards to the teachers and faculties in WL “Get well soon! cards: One of the student’s Mom works at a hospital with a young patient from China. We wrote him “Get well soon!” card to him. He wrote us a note :-) Best wishes to him!! Congratulation to Zhang Laoshi; Zhang Laoshi has been selected to be Indiana Chinese teacher of the year for Middle School level. Great job, Zhang Laoshi!!
