A Special Message for Wade King Kids
It is Friday! This is the day our whole school is usually together for our school meeting. We will send you "News for WK Kids' every Friday. It will have announcements, a fun movement song, and new learning, just like we would do at our Friday School Meeting. This month we're focusing on Asian Pacific Heritage Month. We have contributions from some of our favorite Asian Americans!
Love,
Mrs. Johnson & Mr. Holmgren... and all the other adults at Wade King

MANDARIN MINUTE With Mrs. Hagin
This video tells the story of a Chinese proverb entitled Three Monks (三个和尚 Sān gè héshàng). A proverb is a short saying that is used to express a general truth. "Practice makes perfect" is an example of a proverb you may be familiar with in English.
This story is based on a Chinese proverb that says:
One monk will fetch water by shouldering two buckets of water.
Two monks will fetch water by sharing the load of carrying water.
Three monks will have no water to drink.
Wáng Lǎoshī reads the story in Mandarin, and there are English subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Watch the video and see if you can explain the meaning of the proverb.
Consider the following questions: Why didn't the three monks have any water? One and two monks both carried buckets of water, so why didn't any of them carry water when there were three of them?
