Skip Counting by 5's, Tree Frog, First Guidance Lesson and Mid-Autumn Festival!

So we got a tree frog last week and it never came out until today when I went up to school on a weekend. The poor kids have been peeking into the tank trying to see what it looks like but no luck throughout the week. So ta-daaaa, here it is!

 Mrs. Cardosa, our school counselor, came into our class on Wednesday and taught our first guidance lesson. She taught us our 5 senses and related it back to how a counselor can help us.

 All week, we learned about Mid-Autumn festival. We made lanterns and hung them up in the front of the school. I hope everyone that joined us on Friday had fun. Our next big event will be Lunar New Year and that will be in February.

Here are some links to learn more about Tet Trung Thu:

 In math this week, we learned how to skip count by 5’s. Please make 
sure you are practicing at home with your child. Skip counting by 5’s is real important because it will help the kids tell time and count coins later on in the year. We want to master skip counting by 10’s, 5’s and 2’s. For our math warm-up, we sat in a circle as I scrambled the numbers. I called on a student and they would have to go into the circle and place the next number in the correct spot. We skip counted all the way on to 120!
