Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!

It was nice seeing those smiling faces back after 2 weeks. I hope everyone had a restful and fun break. The kids did such a wonderful job transitioning back to school mode. I’ll admit, transitioning back to waking up at 5 every day was hard for me. I think I took a nap every day this week after coming home. We had a pretty productive week coming back. We had library on Tuesday so your child should have checked out a new book. It’s been awhile since we’ve been to library with the crazy December schedule. Please make sure your child is reading EVERY DAY and working on comprehension questions with you at home. I will be assessing their MOY test that will determine their reading level this month. 

In math this week, we worked on odd/even numbers and showing addition problems using tally marks. I introduced a new math center to the kids practicing identifying even and odd numbers and it’s been a hit. The kids are always wanting to play this. We use the little bingo machine and crank it. Then we release a number. We then determine if this number is an even number or an odd number. If anyone has an extra bingo machine around the house, I would be happy to borrow it to add another set in the math centers! :)


 Số chẵn= even number
Số lẻ= odd number

Our math warm-up! We sit in a circle (or attempt to sit in a circle) with our dry erase boards, markers, and sponge.

In science this week, we learned about phases of the moon and natural vs man-made resources.

tài nguyên= natural resources

nhân tạo= man-made resources







***On the monthly calendar, there have been some minor changes. The Goodwill truck drive (that was scheduled for today) is canceled and group pictures that was scheduled January 15th is rescheduled to next month.
