Students took their spelling test to day and then we began the celebration of the Chinese New Year. We learned about the 12 year cycles. Most of the students in our class were goats or monkeys. 2014 is the year of the horse. Students drew pictures of their critter. Then in the afternoon each student made a dragon to represent the monster Nian who used to terrify villages.
In math we thought we thought we had met Nian with a worksheet that went a bit beyond the student's ability. We will revisit the problems on Monday when everyone has seen how it is done, and is fresh and ready to try again. Homework pages are due today and the new blue ones will be going home tonight. Please encourage your child to write the paragraphs correctly.
Remember, the Young Ambassadors will be coming tonight to the Dahle Performing Arts Center. This would be a great way to influence your child toward an interest in music. Studies show students more involved in music seem to do better in school.
