Week of September 6-9, 2016

Thank you parents for donating items for our Five Senses science unit. The students were able to engage in some exciting tasting and smelling activities. Students tasted salt, sugar, lemon, and black pepper. They also made play-doh pizza with basil, mint, rosemary, and coffee beans. Next week, we will take a nature walk to discover objects in a variety of textures. We will make a slimy bouncy ball, too.

In Mandarin, we will begin to formally introduce vocabulary words related to SCHOOL. Since students use supplies very frequently, it is so helpful to start learning their names. Things such as glue sticks, pencils, crayons, scissors, journals, dry erase markers, dry erase boards, water bottles, and lunch boxes. By the end of the unit, students are expected to ask for items in complete sentences and even describe the items by its color(s).

In Math, students will continue to count with cardinality and answering "how many?" questions.
