Global School Play Day
On February 6, 2019 we will PLAY! NO SCREENS - NO STRUCTURE - ALL DAY LONG
The students job:
- Bring toys and games to school (No electronics, No toys with batteries)
- Spread toys out around the room and PLAY
- Go outside and PLAY
The teachers job:
Let the students play and interact with each other
Let the students play with the toys/games of their choice
- Watch, Listen, and Learn
Other than taking a few pictures/videos, I will try to be invisible and let the kids play. This day is for the kids to explore, create, collaborate, and play together. I can't wait to be amazed at what your kids come up with!

*** Important information regarding Chinese Snack Tasting is included in this newsletter and your response is needed if you decide to opt-out.***
In the recent two weeks 1st to 4th grade students have been learning how to say some animals in Chinese. 2nd-4th grade students are doing a great job using the verbs “like” and “have” to form sentences like “I have cats”, “You don’t have dogs”, “I like horses”, and “You don’t like snake”. They also learned how to ask questions like “Do you like horses?” and “Don’t you like rabbits?” in Chinese. I am so impressed with how quickly they learn! 1st grade students had lots of fun learning about the 12 Chinese zodiac animals and coloring Happy New Year 2019, the Year of Pig.
During the week of February 11, 2019, students will be tasting a Chinese snack during their Global Studies class. Please see picture below for the nutrition information. If you do NOT wish your child to taste the snack, please fill out the Opt-Out form by following the link below and submit your response by February 1st, 2019. We will also send out paper permission slips home for certain students with allergy concerns. Thank you for your attention!
