Yesterday we worked with the Teens board. Today the children were introduced to the Tens Board. The Tens Board helps teach place value and exchanging. It also helps reinforce counting skills to 100.

During Soccer Shots, the children practiced their Zig-Zag move and talked about the word of the day, Honesty.

Tomorrow is Yoga and Chapel class. Yoga begins at 9:00. Girls are encouraged to wear shorts under their dress for Yoga. Chapel begins at 10:30. Has your child come home singing Jesus Loves Me? They are always singing it in class while working or while in the restroom.

This morning the children were introduced to place value lessons called the teens board. This lesson helps children identify the ones place and tens place. It also helps children recognize numerals 0-20. We will be introducing more place value lessons with the hundreds place soon.

Gong Hey Fat Choy (Happy New Year)

The children had a wonderful time celebrating the Chinese New Year in their pajamas. One of the Chinese traditions on this day is to have lots of food with family and friends. We honored that tradition by having Chinese Vegetable Egg Rolls (As some of the children called them, Chinese Tacos). The children helped prepare them by cutting up the vegetables and rolling the egg rolls for a teacher to cook. Ask your child what they thought of this cooking activity and how it tasted to them. Red Envelopes are a monetary gift. The red symbolizes Luck while the money is to stop the child from getting older. Thank you, Sophie for sharing Red Envelopes and chocolate money with us. The oranges symbolize happiness and prosperity.

Monday, Is Arts Alive and Music Class.
