Hello!
This week we will be taking a break from learning about winter and talk about Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the rooster in the Chinese zodiac. We will be reading books that relate to China, Chinese zodiac creatures and the Chinese New Year holiday. We will read the books Noodle Magic, Jill and the Dragon, What the Rat Told Me, The Pet Dragon and The Runaway Rice Cake. Students will be creating some cool crafts including a Chinese New Year crown and a dragon puppet! In small groups, we will be working on letter recognition. This will be differentiated by students identifying letters by their sound, receptive identification of letters and the matching of letters. The other group will continue to work with shapes (identifying side, angles, lines and curves). During our math talk we will begin to compare numbers that we have previously explored (1,2,3,4,5). If your child has not come home with a book recently it is because they have not returned their library book. If you are wondering what they are missing, feel free to ask or e-mail me and I can let you know. Remember to read AT LEAST 2 books with your child daily! This makes such a huge difference in their academic future! Have a nice weekend! Mandi Heiser
