Happy Year of the Tiger, everyone!<\/p>\n
We have had a fun-filled week of celebration.\u00a0 We finished our dragons on Monday and on Tuesday we rung in the new year by bringing our school good luck.\u00a0 Staff hung lettuce in doorways, inviting our dragons to dance and eat the lettuce as we paraded down the hallway.\u00a0 We used music to make lots of noise and had a good time.\u00a0 Everyone was very impressed with our multi-medium dragons.<\/p>\n
We continued to celebrate the New Year with a number of activities this week.\u00a0 We read ‘The Great Race’ to learn about the Chinese Zodiac and retold the story in a couple different ways.\u00a0 We made banners to decorate the class and hong bao with Mrs Lee.\u00a0 We did New Year Yoga for gym. We had a good time and our year is sure to be filled with good fortune!<\/p>\n
We also worked to finish our stories.\u00a0 The students really worked SO hard on them and I am very proud.\u00a0 On Friday we celebrated with a tea party and story reading.\u00a0 Shifu even brought us timbits.<\/p>\n
In Science we learned about the phases of the moon and how the New Year begins on the New Moon.<\/p>\n
In math we learned a bit of a tricky concept– near doubles (also called neighbour facts).\u00a0 We practised getting faster at our doubles facts and also did a challenge activity- toothpick puzzles.<\/p>\n
Next week I would like to have a more….low key week and we will return to some of our routines… word play, journal writing, etc.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 There is just so much fun stuff to do together!<\/p>\n
Please remember:<\/p>\n
-Library is always on Tuesdays<\/p>\n
-To ensure your child has a spare set of clothes (2 pairs of socks, one pair of pants, one pair of underwear) labelled and in a bag.<\/p>\n
-To try to keep toys at home and if kids do bring toys, please ask them to put them in their backpacks upon entering the class<\/p>\n
Take good care and be well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
