Great job our cute kindergarteners and this week schedule

A big hand for our cute kindergarteners that perform sooooo well for our Chinese New Year Program on Friday! They were all so cute and sang so loudly! I am so proud of them!
Xiexie parents for those hard efforts and for making sure your kids arrive early and were in appropriate attire!
 YAY!!!!

Business:

1.  The computer class teacher has asked me to remind you to keep practicing with your child their log in information (password and username), I think most of them can log in on their own--yay! But if we can work on speed, that would help the computer teacher to move on and do more activities.

2. Center time means that the children get to 'play' with different toys, I just ordered a lot of new toys (as our toys were old and broken) and I realize that some children tend to throw the toys etc, basically do not treat the toys with respect, which results in some NEW toys being broken (which has to be thrown away due to safety reasons!). Please help me to tell your child at home to treat toys and other things at school with respect and to be gentle with things.
 
3. Valentine day party this Thursday!
Remember AM class party will be held in Mrs Christensen's room from 12:25-1:30pm
Remember PM class party will be held in my classroom from 2:15pm-3:20pm

Please come early to set up! Thanks to our cools moms for all your hard work!

4. LIBRARY BOOKS! please make sure your child brings their library books every Monday to return. If they do not bring their books, they cannot check out new books.

5. PE SHOES! Remember to bring extra running/tennis shoes for your child every Tuesday for PE. BOOTS/SNOW BOOTS are not allowed, no proper shoes means your child cannot do PE due to safety reasons.

Agenda:

1. Chinese---We are going to finish the last 3 fruits, so keep reviewing the fruits vocabulary, a lot of them get orange and pear mixed up because the last word for these 2 fruits are the same! Please Please help me review the vocabulary at home, it is very easy to see and know which students are constantly reviewing the vocabulary with their parents at home. A big THANK YOU!

2. Math--We will try something new, we will try -1 (subtraction) please please, make sure you go over the vocabulary with them:) we will stay in the range of 10.

*for example 4-1=
all they need to draw is 4 circles and cross out one (see email for example!)

*this  might be confusing and might cause tears and frustration but we will get through this!
*the circles need to be drawn clearly, which means no overlapping circles, if possible, try to practice with your child the proper way of drawing the circles ( I have send out an email previously!)
this chart ( on how to draw the circles) is always on our classroom board so the children can refer and practice.

3. Social studies: we will study ways on becoming good citizens

4. TEST this week on FRUITS! Make sure to review all 9 fruits with them (From my audio clips on my blog)

We are going to have a fun week!
