Graphing and Shapes

We finished up our unit of graphing this week. We worked on bar graphs, pictographs, and answering specific questions about our graph. I’m very proud that the kids are able to read graphing math questions in Vietnamese because that is something that is not very easy. We are incorporating math, reading, and Vietnamese all in one. 

We had a very funky schedule this week with an “ice” day on Thursday and taking class time out for dance practice 3 times this week. The kids did good adjusting and being flexible. With an ice day on Thursday, we will have to make up that day on May 22^nd.

We started our unit on 2D shapes today. In my opinion, learning shapes in English is much easier than learning shapes in Vietnamese. As you can see in the chart below that we have in class, a shape in English is only one word but in Vietnamese, it’s like 2 or 3 different words. We will do lots of hands-on learning this upcoming week on shapes, both 2D and 3D. 

We didn’t get through our 6 new sight words in Vietnamese Language Arts this week like I was planning so we will continue with these 6 words this upcoming week before Spring Break. We are working on the G and GH sounds. One more week until Spring Break!!!
