Dear Mom and Dad:
We finished up our Chinese
New Years visual journal page today.
At the end of the day, we did
a really good clean up of our classroom. A Chinese traditions that occurs
during Chinese New Years is that families are busy preparing for the new year
and sweep all the bad luck away. Also it sets the tone for the New Year. A
clean house means that for the rest of the year, the home will be tidy. We will
have Lion Dancers come to the school this Friday to ring in the new year!
I can definitely try this tradition
at home and help organize my room and clean the house ;)
We continue to play floor
hockey during gym with Mr. McDougal
Also, this Friday we will be
celebrating 100’s day! Can you believe it? I am 100 days smarter.
Question of the day: See if
you can find 100 objects in the house that is easy to count (pasta, rice
grains, cereal etc.). How did you count them? Post on the blog what you counted
and how you counted it.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad
