Friday Update Feb 1 to 3

I hope you and your family had a wonderful CNY break!  It has been a funny week, as it was so short, and we were missing quite a few of our kiddos due to vacation or illness (on Wednesday we only had 9!) So we decided to do some things out of the ordinary! J

This week some of our learning included…
*more animal explorations, discussions and play. Our Cat and Dog project was relaunched. Through play, drawing, and creating, the students have continued talking about the “perfect” home for a pet, and what pets really need to have in their home. We talked about important things people should know about animals, and are thinking to try and raise some money for the animal shelter here…more to come!
*Arunika, Renee and Florence’s moms came in to do our international fair project with the students.
*We went to the BIG Elementary School library to check out some books for our classroom library, and some books to help us in propelling our project work. Because we were already down on that end, we stopped at the rooftop playground (a HUGE hit!) for a play.
*We talked about our Chinese New Year holidays, and drew and wrote about them. We have really been concentrating on the way the letters look and sound.
*Santa is back in our classroom. Who knew? Some of the students dragged the Santa hats back out, and have been making presents out of paper and blocks and magnatiles, drawing pictures of things they should give kids for Christmas and they made a sleigh!  You just never know what is about to happen in our classroom!
*and much, much, more!
