Dear fifth- grade families, Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Jie Ming Mandarin Immersion Academy. My name is Hailei Xie, and you can call me “Xie Laoshi.” I am thrilled to be your child’s fifth-grade Chinese teacher this year. I am originally from Qingdao, a beautiful coastal city in China. This marks my fourteenth year teaching Chinese as a second language in an immersion setting, and I have also taught middle school students and ESL to college students. I hold two Master's degrees: an MA in TESOL and an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction. In addition, I am certified with a K-12 World Language teaching license and a K-6 teaching license. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gardening, hiking, and traveling with my family. I am deeply passionate about teaching and believe that every student is unique and capable of success. One of my goals this year is to help students build strong language skills in Chinese—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—while fostering a positive and productive learning experience. Thank you for being part of our Chinese immersion program. I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to working together to ensure a successful academic journey for your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at hailei.xie@spps.org.
Warm regards,
Xie Laoshi
