May Outing: Guandu Park

We will go on our school outing to Guandu Park in Guandu (關渡自然公園) on Wednesday May 29th.  We will go bird watching and have a DIY class. Please come to school on time at 9:00am.  We will leave school right after breakfast. Please bring a water bottle with strap for carrying.  Also, wear school uniforms. Leave everything else (school bag, lunch bag, and communication book) at home. We will have lunch at the park! It has been very hot recently, so prepare mosquito repellent and sunblock if needed.

Thank you!

A Week in Photos (May 20-24)

Here are some photos from the past week. The rest can be seen in MAY PART 1 and MAY PART 2. We have been enjoying taking many pictures this month, wow! Enjoy!

Theme Class

This week we talked about the different habitats and homes of animals!

Before we watched videos on iPad, we talked about the animals that we were about to see. 

We played a  game that helps to practice asking and answering questions.

 We also went exploring for animals! Check out our cool binoculars!

 There were so many animals to see in the classroom!!

Phonics Class

We played writing and reading games to practice all long vowels. Melody and Michelle always help each other! ^___^

 Teacher Micky will say a word, and students have to find the letters to build the word. Great job! 

We practiced sorting beginning letters of vocabulary words. This was a crazy game! I timed the students sorting letters, and each time, students were faster and better. Wow! 

 Don't get eaten by the Big Bad Wolf!! Rawwrrrrr!!!

Art Class

We made owls in this week's Art Class! We used our fingers to put glue on the feather pieces to stick to the owl's body. Whoo whoo! I hung the finished owls from the ceiling and it looks like they are flying high!

Toys Show and Tell

Park Day

 We have fun in the indoor playground!

Be careful, Allen!!

Science Class

 This week we tested different activities to see if we are more dominant with our left or right side.

Some things we  did were kick and throw a soft dice!

We also checked our winking skills ^___^

Some students can use both  sides equally!

Cooking Class

 We made miso soup in this week's Cooking Class! First, you put in the miso soup paste. Then we add some seaweed. 

After we added hot water, we slowly and carefully mix it together. 

After it cooks for a few minutes then we can eat!!

Silly and Fun 

 We like this fun new game! We dance around long vowels and when the music stops, we have to pick one up and read it. Can you think of new ways to dance around?? 

A Week in Photos (May 13-17)

Here are some photos from the past week. The rest can be seen in the MAY PHOTO ALBUM. Enjoy!

Theme Class

 In this week's theme class, we talked about several different habitats: arctic, jungle, forest, desert, rivers,  lakes, and ocean!

 We played a funny naming game. Can you remember the different moves for different habitats?

 We learned many more animals,  so we made more flashcards for our Habitats poster.

 Teacher Coco played a game similar to Red Light Green Light. When you see the bomb, run back to the whiteboard!

Students try to build sentences with the animals and habitats that they were given. Can you tell me what animal lives in the forest? Or in the jungle?

Phonics Class

 Students love playing Sight Words Twister! We end up in funny poses.

We continued reading our phonics readers. Allen and Michelle finished reading another story!

Art Class

 In this week's art class, we made cute animal bookmarks to keep in our phonics readers.

Toys Show and Tell

Allen shows us his new LEGO toy, and Michelle brings her Hello Kitty doctor toy set, and mentioned that Jenny loves to play it so she wanted to bring it for her!

We sit properly and listen carefully when others are presenting. Excellent!

 Doctor Melody is giving Teacher Micky a checkup with Michelle's Hello Kitty doctor toy. Michelle and Melody play very well together, and are very good friends!

Doctor Allen, what do you hear??? ^____^

Park Day

Everyone plays very well with one another. We all run around the playground very happily. Unfortunately, it began to  rain a little bit that day, so we had to walk back to school earlier than usual. It's OK because we will come back to visit next week! We can't wait!! 

Science Class

 In this week's Science Class, we observed each other's similarities and differences. There were many differences between us, which is what makes us unique! Students had fun changing parts of our faces. The new faces look so silly!!

Cooking Class

Teacher Mandy, what are we making for Cooking Class today!??!???? Tuna sandwiches.. yummy!

 First, we cut open the bun to make two halves. Then we spread tuna on one side.

The next step is to sprinkle some wheat cereal to give an extra crunch!

And of course, the last step is to EAT!!! Everyone says "yummy" with so much food in their mouth haha!

Music Class

Allen is helping me roll up the carpet for a fun music class!

Fun and Silly

On the day before Science Class, students saw me preparing for the activity. They look so funny with someone else's face!

On this day, everyone got one supermoney at the same time. And everyone got the same Christmas design! Excellent!!
