What a great week to celebrate diversity! With the Chinese New Year celebrations in full swing, and the start of Black History Month, our week was busy and interesting and fun. One of our classmates taught us how to say "Good Morning" in Chinese, and we used that as our morning meeting greeting for the day. On Friday, the kindergarten classes paraded through the school with a great dragon, waving colorful masks and using instruments to show celebration of the Chinese New Year. We also got the chance to learn about Edmonia Lewis and Maya Angelou as our spotlight African Americans of the week. We will continue to highlight African Americans who have contributed to making our country great. It is wonderful to see the students in our class embracing each ethnicity and culture represented in our class.
Students continued to practice cooperation and responsibility this week by working together to finish their communities in social studies. We will start the next week by presenting on them. It was fun to see how different each of the communities was, and how unique.
Finally, we had the excitement of another pajama/comfy day! It was fun to see all the kids in the school showing their Jaguar Pride. Kids also enjoyed taking a stroll through the library to view all the art projects for Kids Create on Thursday. I hope you were able to go and enjoy the creativity shown by so many of Parkview's students! Have a refreshing weekend, everyone!
