Re: 1118-1122 Chinese class

 

Parents,

 

This week we are collecting coins to help our sister school in Kenya, Africa. If you would like to participate, please send coins with your child this week. (Monday=pennies, Tuesday=nickels, Wednesday=dimes, Thursday=quarters, Friday=dollar or any coin amount)

 

We would like to welcome Mrs. KennaJean Hamaker to our English classroom. Mrs. Hamaker is a student teacher from UVU. She will graduate in April with a bachelors degree in Elementary Ed. She has 4 children of her own, ranging from 2nd grade to 9th. She will be with us until Thanksgiving break, and then will return to our class for 3 months after Winter Break.

 

I am in need of some technology help. Our classroom was donated hundreds of books on tape (these are a great tool for our students to use). However, the tapes are very difficult to use for the first graders. I am looking for someone who has the capability to convert these to CDs. If you or someone who know can help me, please let me know.

 

A note from Mrs. Liston,

Last week, we started Chinese lesson 7 (Where do you live?). It is a hard lesson for most students. Please help your child review lesson 7 by using the online BetterChinese program or the flash cards that you can download and print from the blog.

 

For math, you can go to the website http://connected.mcgraw-hill.com/connected/login.do to help your child practice problem solving. We are now in chapter 3 and chapter 4 (addition and subtraction strategies to 20).

 

In social study, we are learning North, East, South, and West in Chinese by singing a song.

 

If you have lost the username and password for the web sites please let me know.

 

Thank you for your support.
