Chinese New Year and the Equal Sign!
/ Abby ThompsonExtending our study of holidays around the world, the Whales were lucky enough to be given a special presentation all about Chinese New Year from two of our Whale parents! Whales learned about Chinese traditions during the time of the Lunar New Year, as well as the history behind the celebration. We got to experiment with writing our own Chinese character, and practiced saying some words in Chinese. It was great fun!
During numeracy, we learned more about the equal sign and what it represents. We worked together in groups of four to create number sentences using the equal sign correctly. We used fingers to do our work!
