Let's Go!

At our end of year concert, your child will be performing several songs including one from this album. Go! Go! Let's go! is the name of this song that captures the beautiful voice of the children. The lyrics are easy to understand and I love how it surrounds nature. 

There was not a video on youtube but here is the link to the song if you do choose to purchase on iTunes. 
(Purchase of the song is totally optional! We will have plenty of opportunity to rehearse before the show! ) 

The lyrics will be available in your child's mandarin journal as well. I do want to spend some time to familiarize them with the words first.

Week of March 28- April 1, 2016

We have been exploring relationships between Sun and Earth. The students also traced and measured their shadow as well as getting their portraits made inside the classroom. 








Our language learners put together a book using "_____ wants to eat_______. ______ wants to eat # _________. " 






On Thursday, we had visitors from the second grade Mandarin classrooms. Second graders created repetition books learned at writer's workshop. Both grades had a rich language exchange experience.






 We continue to study words through games. Try this tic-tac-toe games next time you are waiting at the restaurant using SIGHT WORDS! We incorporate Mandarin sight words, but you can play with any new words as well.
