HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Dear Parents and Students,

Together with the warmer weather we had a lot of fun this week during Chinese Week.  We made lanterns, cooked, drew dragons, wore red and ate with chopsticks!  Fun, fun, fun!!!

This week was Michelle Lin’s birthday.  We enjoyed the day with her and we got treated with very delicious pizza and candy!  Happy birthday, Michelle!  And thank you for all the treats!

The school is closed during Chinese New Year and will start again on January 30^th.  Second semester clubs will start on February 6^th.

Curriculum Planning for Week 1 of the second semester:

Math:  We will start with Chapter 12, Time and Temperature.  It is the first chapter of Unit 5, Measurement.

English:  We will focus more on writing skills from the second semester and will start with the second part in our English Textbook, Writing, Listening, Speaking and Viewing.  We are going to first look at Unit 7, Writing a Personal Narrative.
