Friday Experiment

Weekly Pictures


Friday, January 20, 2012

            The Pre-K class has been learning a lot about Chinese New Year this week.  We made two kinds of dragons, wore red clothes, used chop sticks and learnt how to write Chinese calligraphy.  Today we also did a graphing exercise with the stuffed animals that your child brought into school.

            The Pre-K class has grown again and this week Andy Son joined us.  He is from South Korea and has an older sister in the 3rd grade.  So, if you see Andy or his parents around the school could you please welcome them to the Pre-K team!

            The read-a-thon totals are in and as a class we raised over 19 000NT and read over 700 books.  Ms. Vicky and I are so proud of all of you by reading so many books.

            Next week is Chinese New Year and there will be no school.  Ms. Vicky and I want to wish everyone a happy and restful break and we can’t wait to see you in the New Year!
