The Week of Dec.1st

Reading: We will keep working on nonfiction book. We will talk about details and main ideas through different nonfiction book. Students made their own" The Four Seasons" book in the class, and illustrated the details through the picture drawing. They had really fun for making and reading their own books. In centers, we also did flash cards practice, pairs reading, board writing practice.






Writing: We will keep practicing " Table of Contents, Titles, Glossary, and informational writing". Depends on the animal projects the students made, they will describe their own animals through colors, size, and food. The students will have their mandarin words dictionaries, and choose the words, put them into sentence.



 Math: We will review some fraction and 3d shapes we did before. We will do pizza fractions later this week. The students made 3D books, and we will send 3D shapes book go home later. Please help your kids practice these at home. I will post the 3D books pronunciation later on.



Science: We will work on animals. I will implement part of science words into their writing too since we worked on the informational  writing. Also, since we sent the "My Beans Book" go home last week, help your kids read their books at home. They did awesome job for their "Beans Presentation". I think they would love to show you too!:)
