Week of January 5-8, 2016

Happy New Year!

In language this month, we began to introduce seasonal clothing. The students will name clothing and describe them by colors. Exciting news! Culminating event for this unit is a Fashion Show happening at the end of this month. Invitation coming your way in two weeks.

In Math, we are exploring data and measurement. Students measured objects and compared their lengths. They also compared weight using a balance scale.

In Science, we are categorizing animals by skin coverings and movements.

Although it was only the first week back since the winter break, it feels like the teachers and students jumped right back into the routines without a frown. I am amazed this time of the year because I always witness so much growth both academically and socially. During one of our Math whole group discussion this week, we measured six stuffed animals using unifix cubes. I asked the students (in Mandarin, of course!), "Which two of these six are the longest?" Without any hesitation, a few answered in a complete sentence, "Both 4 and 6 are the longest!" It was mind-blown! Of course every learner progress at different rates in different subject areas. I am just excited to watch their faces light up and ready to learn, every single day.

Thank you parents for your trust, kindness, and support! Go GLOBE!
