Friday's Chinese New Year Show: Please provide your child with a white long sleeve shirt so they can wear under their dance costume.
Happy Birthday Jonathan! We had fun eating pizza and watching Jonathan's favorite show!
Yesterday's field trip was a great success and so much fun! The kids had a wonderful time learning about drums, their history and why its so important to Chinese culture. We got to see a special performance in the remodeled sugar refinery and tour its antique looking installations. We had lunch while listening to some people rehearse in the room next door, and got to see some really old and different drums from Chinese history. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Hi everyone!
So today we did a lot of reviewing for our Language Arts exam on Monday that included:
What are nouns?
What are proper nouns?
What are pronouns?
What are verbs?
How do we use: 'is' 'are' 'were' was; in sentences
What are complete sentences?
What are contraction?
What is an apostrophe?
In math we have learned what is means to talk about a whole number and how fractions are when this whole number is broken up into equal pieces. Students are now familiar with recognizing 1/2 , 1/3 and 1/4's. The important aspect of this unit is students comprehension when speaking of what a fraction means.
Science: Began our investigative research, we will observe and record weather for 5 days and predict what the weather will be like on day 6.
Homework:
Spelling: Study for spelling quiz
Science: Brain Check
Apply Concepts pages 265-266
The kids had a great time with Ms. E yesterday! Here are some fun pictures of their Chalk Art:
