Ni-hao from China!
This week we traveled to China and learned about characteristics of Chinese culture! There were many fun filled activities! Students made paper people wearing traditional tunics decorated with dragons and flowers for goodluck and hand held rattle drums, a Chinese percussion instrument. We also got to see a live cooking demonstration by Chef James! The stir fry made in the wok was delicious!
While Students were enjoying their yummy Chinese taste test, they were also designing their own dragon for Chinese New Year. You would typically see the Dragon Dance during a parade for Chinese New Year!
Fun Fact: the longer the dragon, the more luck it'll bring you!

Opinion Writing
During Writer's Workshop students have been forming many opinions! Students first started thinking about things they would like to change about our school. 2nd graders think we should have more outdoor time and chocolate milk on Fridays!
Now students are using books to form opinions about characters. We think Mercy Watson by Kate Dicamillo is obsessed and crazy!
