Hello Cedar families, we cannot believe April is about to end. We will finish the school year in just six weeks!
As usual, we had many learnings and activities. Please enjoy the blog!
Ethiopia
Atsede, one of our sub-teachers gave us a presentation on Ethiopia, in which she was born and grew up. There were 80 languages spoken there, and coffee is famous worldwide. People like to make a big dish and eat together with their right hand. They wrap the food with a pancake-like flatbread called injera. She brought out the flag, scarf, traditional clothes, and wheat-made bun. We also listened to music and danced Ethiopian style–emphasis on neck and shoulder movement.
Readathon
On our Readathon day, Anne Wong the author of “Doubly Happy” visited our ECC campus and read her book. She shared her Chinese culture through different items based on the alphabet, like “b” for Boba tea; “z” for the zodiac. We also got red envelopes with a panda sticker in it.
Sound of the Week–“s”, “t”, “u”
To support our flower study, for the sound of “s”, we made a sunflower field. For “t”, we made tractors with the letter t. For “u”, we made an upside-down peach cake 😉
