Year of the Monkey

Dear Mom and Dad of PM kindergarten:

We started off the morning with a KBC circle. Ask me to tell you what this is. It is a very peaceful circle where we share our ideas one at a time. Today the question was “What do you know about Chinese New Year?” We shared a lot of what we know.  

We were busy getting ready to ring in the year of the Monkey on Monday. We cleaned our classroom by wiping tables, chairs, organizing our pencil tubs, organizing our books etc. I can do this at home as well ;)

Dusting out the old year and bringing in the new!


We practiced making the m sound, printing the letter and drawing a monkey! Ask me to tell you some words that start with m.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what you know about Chinese New Year.

Love,

Kindergarten

CHINESE NEW YEAR

It is Chinese New years On Monday February 8! Please wear RED for good luck. Kindergarten will be having a feast to celebrate this event. We will be serving egg noodles with peas and carrots cooked with vegetable broth. We will also be eating oranges and having some iced tea. On this day students don’t need to bring a snack. If you know that your child may prefer to eat their own snack you are welcome to still pack one.
