A Week in Photos (April 29-May 3)

Here are some photos from last week. Enjoy! You can see the rest in the MAY PHOTO ALBUM.

 Theme Class

We spent most of the week working on our skit. We started writing it on Monday, and we were able to record on Friday. If you haven't seen the videos yet, you can see them in THIS POST!

Phonics Class

We started the week with making a height chart, because Watermelon Class seems to be growing taller very quickly! 

We played a new Leap Frog game to name vocabulary. This game was fun because we can pretend  to be frogs ^_^

Michelle and Allen began a new story about ants in the beach. So silly!

Art Class

 This week, we made our own clocks to learn to tell time in some Math classes.

Here they are!

Toy Show and Tell

 I see smiles during Show and Tell!

Park Day

Too bad it rained again, but we all got to play together in the playground!

Science Class

We read a book about sinking and floating. At the end of the book, there was a Quiz to see what objects we think will sink and float. Excellent participation from Michelle and Allen!

Cooking Class

 Teacher Mandy taught us how to make corn soup. Yummy!

 To make corn soup, we need to use soup stock and canned corn. Watermelon Class likes to help!

Silly and Fun!

 Using our floss picks to clean our teeth after lunch. We must keep our teeth clean and beautiful!

Watermelon Class is leading morning exercise. Can you guess what song this is?

Melody has a few shirts with cute wings on the back. When she was changing clothes, her wings look like bunny ears. So cute!

The two Little Teachers are playing paper-scissor-stone to see who can be main Little Teacher after morning exercise. Go Watermelon Class, go go!

Skit Video: Jobs

Here are the videos of our Jobs skits! We were so excited to wear the costumes and look just like police officers, firefighters, and cooks!

Finally, a photo update! (April 20-26)

Here are the pictures from last week, including the outing! I passed the limit on the number of photos in  one photo album, so April's photos can be  found in PART ONE and PART TWO. We took soooo many pictures this month!!

Outing to Taipei American School's food fair! Watermelon Class has been very excited about this outing! Even with the rainy weather, everyone was very happy and enjoyed the day ^____^

There were many different foods to try. Melody tried a cute elephant cookie!

There were also many games to play, and you can win so many prizes. Allen loved playing games the most. He won so many new prizes this day!

Michelle spotted a nail designs booth and got her nails painted purple with pink flowers. Beautiful!!

We all really had a lot of fun on this eventful, drizzly day :D

Teacher Coco's Theme Class

 We practiced our sentence patterns and learned new games we can play! Telephone and Jobs on the Bus are some of our favorites.

Phonics Class

This week, we learned "oa" long O, and  finished reading our "ai" long A worksheet.

Art Class

For Earth Day, we talked about how to keep our Earth clean recycling paper that we don't want. We painted  Earth with our hands in the shape of a heart :)

Toys Day

Allen smiled nicely and looks very handsome on the stage! It shows very clearly that he enjoyed talking about his Angry Birds drawing  book.

Park Day - Chicken Park

It was a VERY HOT day, but everyone still had so much fun running around. Drinking water when we finish playing feels very comfortable!!

Science Class

 This was our Sink/Float experiment. First, we picked 5 objects from the classroom that we want to check. Then we predicted whether or not they will sink or float. We filled up a tub of water and tried it out. The plastic plate was the most surprising result, because it can sink AND  float!!

Cooking Class: Hot Dog Octopus

We cut hot dogs and cooked them to look like little octopus! Some people said they look like flowers. Either way, they were very yummy.

1-2-3 say OCTOPUS!

Silly Math Class

I can not finish uploading all of last week's pictures, so here is a video of Watermelon Class playing BOMB! with Teacher Coco from last week ^___^ Enjoy!
