Good evening!

Today, we worked on tracing the letter T.  We did a worksheet and then we made the letter T with play doh.  Everyone did very well on this. Good job to all the boys and girls who work so hard to write their letters!

We also had a very, very nice morning learning about the Hindu celebration, Diwali.  We made and decorated rangolis (decorative pictures that are designed and done on floors inside or outside of a house for Diwali). Vishva's mom was very kind to come in and teach us how to decorate our very own rangoli. We are very thankful to her for taking the time to do something so special for us.  She even showed us one that she made and it was very beautiful and colourful. We used tiny mirrors, glitter, sequins, and crayons to decorate our own rangolis. You can see them in the classroom as they are hung up with pride.

Here is an example of what a traditional rangoli looks like:

We also read about penguins. We learned that the male penguin carefully takes care of, and holds the baby egg between his feet until she or he is born, while the mommy fishes for food. We are going to be learning lots of cool facts every day!

We also had silent reading time and also individual reading time with me before lunch. It was very nice and fun. Everyone loves taking out different books and looking at the different pictures to guess what happens next.
