Week+1017-1021

Dear Families,

How time flies!! I can't believe that we are already at the end of October! The temperature dropped quickly. I feel like winter is right at the corner. Please prepare your child with appropriate winter apparel.If your child is in Ms.Ou's morning group, please don't forget to bring a shoe box for your child's winter gears. )

Next week we will have two fun events. The first one is the "Make It and Take It" at Wednesday (Oct. 26, 6 pm- 7pm). In this event, we will introduce how we will begin the "Books in the Bag". The second one is "Spootecular " at Saterday (Oct. 29). Please do come to join us and have great fun!

This week we focused on learning colors in Chinese. We learned the Better Chinese Lesson 5. Here is the flash video. I strongly recommend you work with your child to review the Chinese lesson at home. I believe that your child would love to show you how to say the sentences! :)

The following flash is the exercise for lesson 5. You can help your child to play the flash games and review the lesson.

We began learning some popular Chinese characters. This week's Chinese character is 日 which means "sun". This flash video will show your the evolution of this Chinese character. This week's home work is practicing writing it. [].

We are almost at the end of our first IB unit: "how we organize ourselves". In this unit, we learned about rules and routines and discover why they could help us create a great learning environment. We will begin our next unit “Who we are" from November.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Fondly, Ou Laoshi
