The week of Sep.22nd and Sep. 29th

Writing: We worked on Characters, settings and retell  for this week. We read the book " mouse steal oil" , they draw pictures about the story, sing the song. We also sat in small group and talked about where this happened and who's in that story, sing the mouth song together. We will continue this and compare different characters and settings  next week too.  I shared ideas with Ms.Murphy, English class did same theme, but different activities.

Reading: Community words about community helpers and different working place. We practiced "What do you want your job to be?" Also they draw pictures and talked about different community helper.

Math: Review place value and started greater than, less than, equal. We sang the rhyme when we did comparing:" e yu e yu, wo e le. wo yao chi na ge da da de." (鳄鱼鳄鱼,我饿了。我要吃那个大大的。"It means alligator, alligator, I am hungry. I want to eat the bigger one.


Pack snack and water bottle every day:)

Moon cake song lyrics

八月十五花好月圆,ba yue shi wu hua hao yue yuan

hua 啊, hua 啊, hua 啊,庆中秋。hua a , hua a, hua a, qing zhong qiu.

初一一条线,chu yi yi tiao xian,

初二看得见,chu er kan de jian,

初三初四眉弯弯,chu san chu si mei wan wan,

十五十六月儿圆,shi wu shi liu yue er yuan,

月亮和我一起走,yue liang he wo yi qi zou,

我和月亮交朋友,交朋友,wo he yue liang jiao peng you, jiao peng you,

提着灯笼庆中秋,庆中秋。ti zhe deng long qing zhong qiu, qing zhong qiu.

家家户户喜团圆。jia jia hu hu xi tuan yuan.

中秋节快乐。zhong qiu jie kuai le.

When August 15th of lunar calendar coming, flowers are blooming and moon is round,
we all celebrate the Moon Festival.
At the first day, moon is a line,
At the second day, the moon can be seen,
At the third and fourth day, moon looks like curved eyebrow,
At the 15th and 16th, the moon is walking with me together,
I make friends with the moom,
every body hold the lantern, and celebrate the Moon Festival.
All the families get together.
Happy Moon Festival.
