We had a great week of celebration and learning last week!

Aside from our dumpling making, the great assembly, and the wonderful potluck luncheon we enjoyed – thank you to all the parents who sent in the wonderful food!! – we learned that some of the math games we are used to playing have Chinese origins!  Students spent the afternoon on Thursday playing: Tic Tac Toe; dominoes, and Chinese checkers.

We also heard the story “Grandfather Tang’s Story” and did some experimenting with tangrams – a square which is cut into seven different shapes.

Our lanterns looked great in the classroom, and when we moved them to the gym for the assembly.
