I can not believe the school year is flying by so quickly. The topics and themes for the last quarter are different for each grade. They are:
Kindergarten and 1st grade - The students are making a book so they will have something to review what they have learned so far.
2nd grade - The students are learning about the Dragon Boat Festival. It is one of the most important Chinese holiday that is celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month on the Lunar Calendar.
3rd grade - The students are learning about history and construction of the Great Wall of China.
4th and 5th grades - The students are reviewing some of the ancient Chinese inventions they have learned with Mr. Chris during their library time. Mr. Chris was Mrs. Mac's guest teacher while she was on leave earlier this year. The students will then learn about a modern Chinese invention that could turn desert into farming land. This method has just been developed by a university in southern China.
