Chinese New Year

What sign are you? We are ramping up to celebrate Chinese New Year, and the New Year of the Pig! Mrs. Jessie is the year of the rat.. my mom used to bring that up regularly because I was always a bit of a pack-rat!

Celebrating Chinese New Year also brings us to our first big unit in social studies.. Ancient China! After we finish learning all about ourselves, we will start learning about Ancient Civilizations. Up first.. Ancient China!

Group Work

Today your student will be learning how to work in collaboration with peers. We will be discussing the importance of getting along with each other and working towards a common goal. Students will be working in many different types of groups and stations this year, so we will practice over the upcoming days in both math and language with our daily 5. Stay tuned!
