Star of the Week, New Year's Resolutions, Chinese New Year, Subtraction

Star of the Week
This week our Star of the Week is a friend that loves chicken nuggets, the color pink, and wants to be a ballet teacher when she grows up.

New Year's Resolutions
We started the year by talking about traditional American New Year's celebrations.  How did you celebrate?  Then we discussed what a resolution was and made our own.  We have lots of work to do this year!!


Chinese New Year
In China, their calendar is different than ours.  We learned about their calendar system and compared it. We learned about how the Chinese celebrate their New Year.

The Chinese calendar is based on the moon.  It is called a lunar calendar.


We compared the  American New Year and the Chinese New Year. 

Subtraction
In Math, we are learning about subtraction.  We are using manipulatives and drawing pictures to show how to solve subtraction problems. 

We used the story Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar to practice subtraction and then recorded it in our Math Journal.

We used the story 10 Little Ducks to practice telling subtraction stories and solving them.

Just use bottom on the snowman to tell stories about a snowman who lost his buttons.
