Week of August 15-19, 2016

In language thematic unit, we continued on greeting each other by saying good morning, hello, good-bye, thank you, and you're welcome. The students have made lots of improvement and some began to ask to go to the bathroom in Mandarin. Ms. Yang and I remind the students to say thank you and you're welcome whenever possible. Next week, we will introduce "I am sorry." "It's okay!" "How old are you?" and "I am ___ years old."

In Math, we used manipulatives to help us count. Students stack unifix cubes while counting in Mandarin. They also trace numbers using playdoh as well as roll them in balls to create ten frames. Students are now counting from 1 to 100 orally when looking at the hundreds chart. They are also expected to count by 10's from 10 to 100 by the end of this unit. It is important that students are counting during their spare time to get familiar with number sense. Counting in both English and Mandarin are encouraged.

Today, Ms. Eckmann's class went out on a nature walk and recorded things we see, hear, touch, and smell by drawing objects on the graphic organizer. Next week, Mrs. Holmes' class will conduct their walk and both classes will be introduced to scientific tools.

Have a great weekend and see you at meet and greet on August 25!
