The videos and articles all addressed global population decline and birth rate has dropped dramatically over the past five years in China. In 2021, some provinces in China have the lowest birth rate since the year 1960. What's worse, demographers are predicting record lowest birth rate this year. If the current situation continues, the effects related to the nation's education will be significant. Many k-12 schools are worried they may not have enough students. I am thinking how I can help my students understand what drives an aging society and motivate them to discuss the advatages and challenges and impacts during the Mandarin class.

Hi everyone, my name is Xiaoyuan. I am a 6th grade Mandarin Immersion Program teacher at Sierra Madre Middle School. I am from China and we use Mandarin to teach students Mandarin and Social Studies subjects. In my 6th grade world history class, I teach Ancient civilization, including Ancient China, India through Mandarin. I look forward to learning with you all and explore history and culture of East Asia and incorporate it into my history curriculum.
