The end of week 4 has come to an end, and next week is a short week. Please read below for more information on Chinese New Year activities.
In Language Arts we began with a spelling test and then read Frindle. Here's a quick summary of Chapter 8 - Things are getting rather serious in the school and all the students don't care about getting after school detention if they say the word, "Frindle." It has begun to cause a lot of problems throughout the school, but all the students continue to say, "Frindle" instead of "pen."
During Math, the students had practice deciding what operation to use for problem solving, and they practiced dividing by 5.
Science class was dedicated to a quiz.
We had some students get a prize for completing their Reading Logs. Other students are very close to getting their prize. Keep going, students!

dumplings, Chinese, snake, parade, monkey, family, oranges, horse, envelopes, lantern, chopsticks, good luck, firecrackers, cookies, rabbit, dragon
