Today we
-spent the first 90 minutes working through a multi-step Math problem that involved addition, subtraction and then division.
-it is important for students to use blocks or other counters in Math to help them concretely understand the operation (we used blocks to help us divide 24 into 4 equal groups)
-learned about the story of Nian
-learned about the celebrations of Chinese New Year
-watched a video of a lion dance
-made our own little dragons
-tried out some new foods!

ReplyDeleteSorry. I thought this was yesterday. I learned that people give out red envelopes. I also learned about a legend about a monster in China. On the darkest night he goes into China and scares everything in sight, even the animals. Then a wise old man told the monster what he was scared of: fireworks, loud noises and red.
ReplyDeleteI also learned I was born in the year of the tiger.
