Week 2/22-2/26

Dear parents,

Another great week passed, students had learned a lot from planetary representative.  They also watched live video from the Mars rover on the TV today. Really was an exciting event to see!

English:

In English the students have started a new math unit. This unit is about arithmetic with decimals and has seem easier for the students. In language arts the students are continuing in "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind" and will begin writing a narrative soon.

I've let the student know that in the coming weeks they may see a bit more homework. This is to prepare them for middle school. I've asked them to take responsibility and work hard to get things done.

Again if you have any questions I would love to help answer them!

Chinese:

Friday, students don't need to come in school.  I will assign Chinese and Science assignment on Canvas, they can complete it at home.  If they have any questions about assignments, please join open class zoom meeting with me at 11:30-12:30, I can help them if they any questions.
