International Week!

 

We began our celebration of International Week by reading a wonderful book about the Chinese New Year called Dragon Dance. Mrs. Oliva sent in a special lantern craft for us to make with beautiful stamps and gold stamp pads. She even found a snake stamp for the Year of the Snake, which was met with great excitement! Each lantern was lit by its own electric candle, and together all our lanterns surrounded us with a soft glow during quiet time!

We read one of our favorite books by Ezra Keats called A Snowy Day. We recreated a snow bank on paper and recreated footprints by "walking" across the snow with teeny-tiny Barbie shoes just like the character Peter did in the book.

To celebrate the amazing job that KA has been doing we enjoyed a Pancake Party! We loved this so much and declared it "the best day ever!"

In further celebration of International Week, Mrs. Ricard visited and shared stories about France. After listening to The Cows Are Going to Paris, The Happy Lion and Crepes by Suzette, Mrs. Ricard spoiled us with mini beignets and mini croissants de chocolat. She also helped us construct our own versions of the Eiffel Tower. We can't wait to share them with you!

We are looking so forward to our continued celebration of International Week. Thank you parents for all you do for our class!
