Week of September 16-20, 2013

Happy Friday! Thank you all for coming out to GLOBE's first Curriculum Night. It was warm and fuzzy for me to see each and everyone of you. Hope you got a good glimpse of what goes on in the Reading/ Writing Workshop/ Mandarin Literacy block. As Ms. Kenner mentioned, there will be future curriculum nights focusing on other curricular components. Stay tuned!

This week the students continued to count objects in Mandarin. They were also encouraged to ask "how many" in Mandarin. To reinforce color words, students made an ocean out of a paper plate and cute out fish and colored them in blue, red, green, and white. We connected the colors with Dr. Seuss' book "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish."The kids love playing the "Color Game" where you pass around a certain color while naming the color words. I encourage you to complete the number flash cards if you have not done so and have your child read forward and backwards. Incorporate counting into your lives; count crackers, flowers, cars...etc.

Thanks to J's parents the students had a blast conducting puppet shows using the puppets! The children were encouraged to apply greeting words, perform a song, and say good-bye and thank you at the end of the show. The entire class was engaged and we cannot wait to do it again next week. We might have our own puppet show party mid-year!

Don't forget! Welcome to the GLOBE is coming this Saturday. Specific schedule will be released this week, but K will most likely perform between 11 and noon.
