Dear Kindergarten Families and Friends,
This week, we learned the sight word “you” and started practicing encoding—listening to the sounds in words and printing the letters, especially the beginning sounds. We also worked on labeling pictures using our growing writing skills!
In celebration of Earth Day, we explored the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We had a wonderful community walk to Fish Creek Park, where we used our five senses to connect with nature.
In Mandarin, we learned how to say “in the middle” (中) and played fun games to practice directions.
Wishing you a great weekend, and we’ll see you next week!
亲爱的幼儿园家长和小朋友们：
本周，我们学习了常见词 “you”，并开始练习拼写练习（encoding）——也就是听一个单词的发音，并尝试写出其中的字母，尤其是首字母。孩子们也开始尝试为图片加上标签，练习将想法写下来！
为了庆祝世界地球日，我们一起学习了环保三原则：减量（Reduce）、再利用（Reuse）和回收（Recycle）。我们还一起进行了社区散步，走访了鱼溪公园（Fish Creek Park），用五种感官来感受大自然。
在中文课上，我们学习了表示位置的词语 “中”，并通过一些有趣的方向游戏来加深理解。
祝大家周末愉快，我们下周见！
