Friday February 1, 2012
We all had a great time at the
zoo yesterday. I want to give a big
thank you to Ms. Wu (Jasmine’s mom) and Ms. Ang (Chaline’s mom) for coming with
us. The weather was great and we got to
see many different animals.
Next week is Chinese week and we
will participate in many exciting activities to celebrate the year of the
Snake. On Wednesday please dress your
son or daughter in red and on Friday please send in a set of chop sticks for us
to eat lunch with.
Since next week is the beginning
of the semester there will be some new things starting in the Pre-K class. Starting Monday we will begin Winnie the
Pooh’s writing journal. It follows a
similar format as Treasure Bag as it goes home once a day with a different
child. Each student will get the
opportunity to write a sentence or two and draw a picture of something they did
with Winnie the Pooh. Instructions will
also be inside in both English and Chinese and please only assist your child
complete the journal entry. I have some
examples and notes to help guide you and your child.
The Pre-K class is growing again
and Rachel is the newest member of our team.
Please welcome her in to the Pre-K family as you all have done with the
many new students that have joined us over the past few months.
One last note, if your son or
daughter wants to change their drink at lunch please let me know. The choices are: chocolate milk, white milk, drink
yogurt and grape or orange juice.
