Before the Mid Winter break, we discussed many different holidays and worked on many things in the classroom. Students continued to work on oral storytelling and also continued to work on reading and math. We learned about different holidays and celebrated all we have been doing to honor the 100th day of school.

Students also were able to watch a show for the Chinese New Year. They observed and watched the dragon dance.

lass book.
