Parents,
School picture day is Tuesday!
Mark your calendars: Parent Teacher Conferences will be held the evening of Oct 1, 2, and 3rd and during the school day of the 3rd. Please plan to bring your first graders with you, so they can show off their Chinese!
THANK YOU! We not only reached our book order goal of $300, but significantly surpassed it! That tells me one thing about this year… WE ARE READERS! Because of this, our classroom will receive at least 20 books for free! If you didn't order, and would like to, it isn't too late. I will submit another order early Tuesday morning.

Please continue to check and discuss Class Dojo points with your child. We are very impressed with their hard work in the classroom!
A note from Mrs. Liston,
Dear Parents,
In Chinese class, the students have learned how to make/add up to 4, 5, 6, and 7 in math. We have more math homework this week. You can use any kind of manipulative to help your child with math homework. For example, you can use candy and cereal (m&m, starburst, skittles, or fruit loops) to help your child do math homework. I know the Chinese lessons are getting harder and harder. In average, students are struggling to recognize each Chinese character, and some students are struggling to write Chinese characters. Please encourage your child to keep working hard. In class, we gave students a small reward to encourage their learning. We hope this way can motive them. Some parents have been volunteering and are helping pull out the worksheets from the Math book, and some have been helping individual student learn math at school. We appreciate all of your hard work to help your child at school. Thanks again.

Math: add 0, making 4 5 6 7, and problem solving
