January 21 Blog
Friday, January 21, 2010
January is almost gone and I am sure many of you are getting ready for the Chinese New Year break. Next Friday the 28th will be our last day of school until February 7th. We are going to celebrate this festival next Friday with some Chinese New Year activities and a small party.
Next month the Pre-K’s are going to be studying Valentines Day, friendship and multiculturalism. During this unit I always like having people of different nationalities come into the class and share some information about their culture with us. After the New Year I will have more information regarding this exciting opportunity for our students to learn about their friends’ countries and traditions.
Next Thursday is the day of our zoo trip. Please cross your fingers that it will be a beautiful day. If it happens to be raining or very cold then we will have to postpone it until early February.
