Hello Families,

Last week we had so much going on with Valentines and Chinese New Year art and cultural celebration on Friday! Here are some pictures of our hard work:

Science! We ran experiments across two days with 2 types of candy and two different bowls of water, one hot and one cold.  Data was collected every 15 minutes to document change in the status of the candies! Guess what dissolved first and most completely in what temperature of water!

Chinese New Year this year is the year of the Earth Dog, Earth being the element and dog the animal for the year.  Our kiddos had fun making the dogs for our windows along with red lanterns and on Friday we had a Chinese pot luck and cooked vegetable fried rice in class!

Lots and lots of learning goes on all day, every day!  Our kiddos work incredibly hard and I'm so thrilled to be their teacher!!!

Lastly:

This week's menu is Cycle 1.

There is no school on Friday, 2-23, as it is a staff professional development day.

Next week is a full week, however Wednesday 2-28-18 is a minimum day, children are dismissed at 12 noon. And Friday 3-2-18 is Read Across America Day to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday.  We will be doing some fun crafts and lots of reading that day!

Have a blessed week!
