Peek at the Week of January 23-27

"Gung Hey Fat Choy!"  That is Chinese for Happy New Year.  The Chinese New Year begins on January 23rd.  We will have some fun learning about this holiday.

On Thursday we will attend a Chinese Dance show in the Common Room.  This cultural program is sponsored by the PTO.  It should be a lot of fun!

We continue to read and learn about the non-fiction genre during Reading Workshop.  We have started working with a reading partner.  A reading partner is a classmate who we 'check in' with during workshop time.  Since we are reading non-fiction, we have been sharing a fact or two we learned from our reading.

 In Writing Workshop we continue with our 'How To' writing.  We are learning so much from each other!  The home videos have served as wonderful inspiration!
