Week of January 26th

On Monday we will celebrate the Chinese New Year! We will have a dragon parade, set off "firecrackers", share our knowledge with other classes through informal presentations, and play the "Chopstick Challenge" game. Gung Hay Fat Choy! We will also enjoy a visit from the therapy dogs on Monday.
Tuesday we will read "Grandfather Tang's Story" and learn about how tangrams can be used to make pictures.
During the rest of the week, we will begin to do research about polar animals and how they live. We will learn about what they eat, how they find shelter, and where and how they live.
It will be another busy week in first grade!
