Week of November 3-7, 2015

What an overwhelmingly awesome, exciting, and successful week at the GLOBE! Our class raised over $3000 with the whole school raised over 80k in just two short weeks!! Thank you parents for being a strong voice for education. Your support makes the difference.

Below is what we have accomplished on top of all the excitements. :) Yes, we get our work done (and have fun too)!

In our third language thematic unit, we learned about names of some body parts and language structures. Specifically head, shoulders, knees, feet, hands, head, hair, eyes, nose, and ears. The students can now tell someone if one of those body part hurts by saying, " My____ hurts, please help me!" "This is my_____." "I have # (body parts)." "Please don't touch my ________."  Our end of unit assessment is for the students to match the words to the body parts. Keep going over those vocabulary cards at home! Ask your child if he can identify body parts on a family pet or a stuffed animal for fun.






For the past two weeks, we have been looking for, tracing, and identifying two-dimensional shapes. We also looked at some paintings that are made up of lots of patterns and shapes. The students were inspired to create their own artwork.








GLOBE Trot! The students were such troopers. What a memorable mud run we will remember forever.



The students were able to share their artifacts from the Chinese restaurants and make a book with their experiences. I am blown away by some of the illustrations.

 "I went to ________ to eat." 
 "I went to _______ to eat." 
 "I ate....."
 "I even spoke some Mandarin!"

|LISTEN| Motion Song (運動)

We are learning about motion in Science. Practice the song and learn the otherwise boring vocabulary words. The song is to the tune of Shut up and Dance. 

Lyrics:
運動是變換位置
動來動去都不停
你來看我怎麼動~
喔!曲線是zigzag,
直線往前走,
我說轉一圈
旋轉很容易看我做.
快慢都是運動,我說
喔喔~前進後退停止.

曲線 zig zag
旋轉 go round and round
直線 go straight
前進後退 forward and backward
停止/靜止 motionless
