Chinese New Year, Battle of the Books and more!

We celebrated Chinese New Year, which this year by learning to calligraphy the Good Luck symbol in Chinese!  We also made lanterns, ate oranges for a sweet life and noodles for a long life, and having a LOUD and CRAZY FUN dragon parade all around the school!  We also did fireworks to bring in the New Year!!!









We celebrated Valentines Day with our Book Buddies!!!













Analyn got to celebrate her birthday with her Book Buddy too!!!



We participated in the Battle of the Books, reading in detail 4 books chosen nationally.  The kids did such a great job memorizing the titles and authors and answering questions about the books!  We had icecream sundaes afterwards to celebrate!!  Thank you for such a fun Battle, Ms. Nicole!











You may have seen Pokey Pins coming home... those are sight words that the kids punch out with pins, and then when they hold them up to the light they can see the word shining through.  They had a lot of fun doing pokey pin words!!!




We began our unit about the Earth by asking questions:


As we go through the unit we will endeavor to answer the kids' questions.  We started with "Does the Earth have a big ball inside?  If so, what is it made of?"  We learned about the layers inside the earth and then did playdoh models of the Earth!
