Hello February!

This week we finished our Chinese New Year unit and began getting ready for our 100th day of school and Valentines Day!

Below are some peaks into our week!

On Monday we learned all about Chinese letters 1-12! Pre-K placed the missing numbers in order and kinder students actually practiced addition with Chinese numbers!


To help us keep warm this week we worked with winter hats....and added some numbers! :) 

Pre-K recognized numbers 1-15 and placed them in order.



 Kinder students used the same hats but grouped them in pairs. After grouping the two random hats they had to decide which was the largest number in each group and placed it on top. When they finished that task I help them to create addition or subtraction problems using each hat! Some students had problems as hard as 15-12 and they did great!





 In preparation for Valentines Day we are creating "Heart Creatures" in class! The students are experimenting with different sizes of hearts to create an animal or monster! So far I have seen them create a tiger, a ghost, a monster ghost, and a butterfly! When each child is finished we will display them for Donuts with Dad on Friday!




 This week we have been creative with "Inside Recess"! Students learned several new games.


 Playing "Pass the Bean Bag"



 Practicing our handwriting, letter/sound recognition and math in shaving cream-always a favorite!


 I taught the students in room #11 and room #12 how to play duck duck goose!


 We enjoyed reading a wonderful book this week called "The Mitten"

After reading the story we had a blast creating puppets for each of the characters and then re-telling the story as a class!
