Hello parents! Happy December!
Hope you are having great week. Today in Grade 1 we:
Completed our continents booklet, spoke more about each continent, where it is in reference to the equator and important facts about them as well. We also used new block shapes to count the number of faces, edges and corners on shapes such as cubes, cylinders, pyramids, spheres, rectangular prisms and cones. We continued with Unit 3 in Phonics and moved on the the Long i sound. We reviewed the long A and compared long vowel sounds to short vowel sounds.
The field trip has been approved for Wednesday December 16th. We will be walking to the Kaohsiung Art Museum from school and the cost will be of NT 100.
This is a tentative schedule for special exams. Art will not be having one and Chinese test will be confirmed tomorrow.

Dear parents,
I have a few important announcements for next week:
Homework for Monday: Bring in 1, 2 or more old magazines we
can cut up for a class art project.
Thursday, Nov. 26th:
Students will come in proper uniform Thursday morning for
Mass in the morning.
After Mass: Students will change and quickly rehearse their
song. Please have students bring in an extra outfit to make their performance more
colorful, we will change after mass. I ask they bring in bright colors; pink
would go best with our “Sugar Sweet Candy land” theme.
Language Festival: will start at 10 am, we hope you can all
make it.
Thanksgiving Lunch: As soon as Language Festival is over, we
will head to our Family Thanksgiving Lunch where we will get to share food and
give thanks for so many blessings! If you are attending and have not sent in
your confirmation form, please let me know to inform the office.
It is a Half Day if you will not be here with us for the
lunch please make sure to pick up your children at 11:30.
Have a wonderful weekend!

We are also discussing how to find the following elements in a story: title, author, illustrator, characters, setting and plot.
Math: We have wrapped up basic addition and subtraction strategies for numbers under 10. We will now begin a geometry chapter, shapes, sides, angles, understanding symmetry and more! Coming up tomorrow to last a few weeks.
