Here are some highlights from our week last week!
Social Studies
Last week, the children completed their culture comparison of China. We wrapped up the unit by creating dragons out of paper to represent the dragons used during the Dragon Dance. The children took their dragons outside and performed a Dragon Dance.
The children also worked together to complete a Venn Diagram comparing Chinese New Year to our New Year’s celebrations and traditions. This week, to celebrate the completion of our China study the children will get to watch the movie Mulan.
China Presentations
During LMC over the last month the children have been hard at work researching life in China. The children worked in groups of three or four to research one topic about life in China. During the first week, the children read books and recorded information on their topic on sticky notes. The second week, they took their favorite fact and turned it into a complete sentence about life in China. They also compared the fact they learned about life in China to their life in the U.S. Then the children worked together to turn their facts into a slideshow presentation.

Field Day
Field day was a huge success! The children enjoyed participating in all the field day games. Their favorite station was the dunk tank! Thank you to our two parent leaders, Mrs. Wascher and Mrs. Wilt. The children enjoyed moving around to all of the stations with you. Thank you also to all the parent volunteers who made field day possible. The children had a great time! Below you will find a slide show of photos from field day. Enjoy!
Notes:
