The Great Kindness Challenge
Dear TCE Families,
Thorpe Creek is participating in The Great Kindness Challenge the week of January 28th to February 1st. The Great Kindness Challenge is a positive and encouraging initiative that is taking place in 103 other countries and over 19,000 schools. As part of the challenge each student will be encouraged to complete 50 acts of kindness in the week.
Another part of The Great Kindness Challenge includes raising funds to help support/build a clinic in a small community in Liberia. We would love for students to bring in change to support this cause! Thank you in advance for your support of the Kind Coins Campaign!
We will celebrate all the acts of kindness that are happening around Thorpe Creek with spirit days. They are:

A Note from Our Global Studies Teacher
As a friendly reminder, paper permission slips for students with certain allergies are due next Monday (January 28, 2019). Please make sure to fill out the form and return to the classroom teacher. Thank you for your attention!
*** 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!

January Dine to Donate
Ritchey Woods came to visit our class today. We learned about different forms of matter, how to measure trees, how maple syrup is made, and we got to taste test the maple syrup and maple candy!
Students brainstorm their ideas for what they will need to make their diorama projects for inquiry. We're excited to get this project rolling!
