Happy Chinese New Year!
We learned a lot about Chinese New Year this week. For example we learned that Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days. The celebration begins with families sweeping out the house so that the year has a clean start. In order to take part in this tradition we cleaned out classroom. The kids did a great job making everything near and tidy!
Another great Chinese New Year tradition is their parades, which feature a giant dragon that is worn by many, many people. We made our own dragons in class too!
There is always a big feast to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We each got to write about what kind of Chinese food is our favorite.
"My favorite Chinese food is orange chicken. It is yummy and it is delicious. That is why orange chicken is my favorite food!
"My favorite Chinese food is crab rangoon. I like it because in side it have's sour cream. I like it because it is very crunchy. I like it because you can pour the pink sauce and it make's it better. That is why my crab rangoon."
Monday was no school due to Presidents' Day. This week we learned about Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We learned that George loved math, and Abe loved to read! Here is what the kids wrote about what they thought it would be like to be president.

Last Friday was our field day and the kids got to write about their favorite part of the trip. Here were some favorites!
"Dear class my favorite part was the thing that Mrs. Kawai do. I like it because it was fun."
That is all for this week. Have a great weekend!
