Highlights:
- This week the school's spirit team arrange for us to have PJ and stuffy day! It was so fun to bring in our favorite stuffies!
- For our color unit we learned about shades and tints. We chose a color and mixed in bits of black to create darker and darker shades of that color.
Here is a finished product:
- Then, the next day we used that same color and mixed in bits of white to create lighter and lighter tints of that color!
- For social studies, we started a new unit on Traditions. After reading the book "This Next New Year" by Janet Wong and learning about some of traditions that Mrs. Yoon shares with the character in the book, we got into groups to share some of our own traditions from home.
We created a definition of tradition based on our understanding of it and realized that at school we have some special traditions too!
This group made a web about Dr. Coffin traditions
This group did webs about Dr. Coffin and Family traditions
This group did a web about Chinese, Brentwood and Family traditions!
