I hope
everyone had a relaxing holiday. I have
heard through the students that you all had some great adventures and fun over
the break. I spent my time in Thailand , Qingjing Farm and Taipei
This month in
literacy and social studies we are investigating zoo animals and since Hsinchu
has a zoo I am planning on taking the students for a field trip. Permission forms will be sent out very shortly.
I am also planning on a few other field
trips throughout the rest of the school year because I believe that there are
many learning opportunities to be had outside of the classroom setting. In math and science this month we are investigating
greater than, less than and equal to and various 2D and 3D shapes.
Happy New Year and stay warm!
