PANDA NEWS:

Gung Hey Fat Choy!  Happy Chinese New Year.  We celebrated today.  The children made dragon masks and drums.  I have posted some pictures on Flickr. 

 

On a different note, progress reports went home today.  Please sign and return the envelope and the copy of the report is yours to keep.

 

Thank you for all the tissue donations.  Our noses thank you!

Language Arts:  

 

We worked on lowercase f, q, x and z.  We also worked on the word up. We continue to practice our reading; we have a lot of great readers!  They are also great writers.  We have been practicing our sight words in isolation and in the context of reading.  You may want to practice finding them in books with your children.

 

Math:

 

The Pandas continued to review math games to build number sense.

 

Art:  

 

We made dragon masks along with Chinese lanterns!  We had a dragon parade this afternoon.
