Chinese New Year Celebrations!
During our Chinese
New Year celebration on Friday the students created dragon masks to wear during
our own Dragon Parade.
We joined Miss Da Cruz, Mrs Olaybel, and Mrs Fonseca’s
classes to sing and dance our way (and make lots of noise!) through the halls
of CCS.
The Wedding of Q
and U
On Monday, we will
be celebrating the wedding of the letters Q and U in our classroom. This is to
join the two letters together forever so that we can write and read ‘QU’ words.
Each student will
represent a letter in the alphabet and join in the wedding celebration!
We will have a
short ‘ceremony’ to marry Miss Q and Mr U in the afternoon, then have a
celebration including dancing and snacks for our wedding reception!
Speech Arts
Festival
We have begun our
recitation of “My Elephant Thinks I’m Wonderful” at school. If you could please
continue reading and memorizing the poem with your child it would be greatly beneficial
to your child and their experience with the Speech Arts Festival.
We have practiced the first 6 lines already!
Printing Practice
I have extra
printing practice take home sheets available for students if they would like to
review their letters and writing.
As they return the pages to me they will
receive a sticker as an incentive to practice more. If you feel your child may
benefit from extra practice please see me after school.
100 Day Posters
In preparation for
our 100 days of school celebration I will be asking all students to complete a
mini take home project. This project will be sent home Monday February 3rd
with detailed instructions.
Class event photos
Throughout the year
during a variety of classroom events we have had a parent volunteer come into
take pictures. These pictures are displayed in our classroom and not available for public viewing. If you are interested in
ordering any pictures of your child or would like to view the pictures please
contact me for more details.
Valentines Day
Reminder
We will be having a
mini Valentines Day Party on Feb 12th. If you are interested in
supplying treat for the students please send a little note in your child’s blue
folder with a description of the item(s) you would like to bring.
