Parents are asked to take a look at the Malaysian Studies blog. Ms. Tan has just put out some information on Chinese New Year.
Xin Nian Kuai Le! (Happy New Year)
Ms. TanIn class, students have been very busy.
Language Arts:
Students are now reading James and the Giant Peach as a class. We are studying the characters, and students will soon begin to focus on one character in particular, and write a 4 paragraph character sketch on that character. They have been enjoying the novel so far, especially meeting all of the interesting characters that Roald Dahl comes up with.
Students are also working on finishing their stories from before the break. Hopefully they will have their first draft complete, and typed on their Google Drive. We will start doing peer revision next week, so if they have not yet finished typing, they may want to spend a bit of time over the weekend getting their story onto their Drive.
Math:
We are still working with Fractions. Students seem to be grasping the new concepts fairly quickly, which is rather impressive, as Fractions tend to be quite difficult. They are encouraged to be using IXL as a tool to reinforce the concepts we are discussing in class.
Social Studies:
Students are enjoying the unit of Ancient China. They have done a great job applying their knowledge from our earlier unit of mapping and landforms towards this new unit, to help them better understand China.
