Our China Research Project!

The students were so excited to share their knowledge about China in a special project we worked on in the LMC. The students did research, chose facts, and read their facts during a special "Newscast". Below is a link to our video. Enjoy!

Royal Reader!



This week, we were surprised by another Royal Reader! Macy's mom joined us to read, "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble". The students really enjoyed sharing their ideas of what they would do with a magic pebble!

Gung Hay Fay Choy!






After learning about Chinese New Year traditions during our cultural comparison of China, we celebrated with a Chinese New Year celebration! The students enjoyed parading around the classroom with their paper dragons and dragon masks, and were so excited to receive their very own red envelopes of "lucky money". In the story, "Sam and the Lucky Money", we learned an important lesson about how lucky money can be used for someone who may have a greater need for it.
