Happy Chinese New Year! Today we worked on using sensory words (words that describe what we see, hear, taste, smell and feel) by describing what it might be like to be at a Chinese New Year festival. We looked at pictures of the dragon and china town. We also listened to a "chinese new year music video" for kids (haha!) and read a book about chinese new year. We learned some new vocab. and worked in groups. The kids did some great descriptive writing which is PERFECT for our poetry focus :)
In math we learned about "doubling" numbers. We read a story about a funny friend who doubles during the night and acted out the scenario. We then did every thing "backwards" by learning how to "halve" something. Try asking your student to double something or halve something at home. They love applying new knowledge and had a lot of fun doing these activities today.
By the end of the day today we only had 12 students left in class!!! The whole school had about 80 students absent today! PLEASE do all that you can to keep those kids healthy! I cleaned all the desks and door knobs today in the room--hope this helps stop the spread of this sickness!
