Chinese New Year

So tomorrow is Chinese New Year and my kids are SO excited to celebrate. We will be doing a couple of things through out the week. Our reading program, Treasures, also has a paired selection that the kids will be reading this Thursday so it is perfect! We will start by making a Zodiac wreath. It will look something like this.

 

You can purchase this at Oriental Trading.

Then on Thursday after we read our paired selection, we will complete the following writing activity. 

I hope I remember to post some pictures of the what the projects look like this year. Then Tuesday we celebrate 100th day of school! What a fun week!!!!!!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

Yesterday, my students got to work with their big buddies again. This time our theme was Martin Luther King, Jr. We read them a story and then they have to complete the following bubble map.

After they completed the bubble map, we did the following TLC project. The kids had so much fun and many of them were interesting....LOL!

A Year in Pictures

So I thought it would be fun to join in the fun. I am linking up to Runde's Room Linky Party. Here are some of my favorite blog pictures of 2011!
