Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is almost here!

I love spending a few days on this tradition. It's such a fun holiday teach, filled with tons of rich culture. 

Typically, for our non-fiction reading/research, I like to use Scholastic News (and yes, I keep all of the year's sets so I have the theme when I need them to fit a theme or subject), ReadWorks.org, PebbleGo, and Reading A-Z. 

Here are a few activities we get to throughout the week. 


We make a dragon puppet - using popsicle sticks. It's great as a stand-alone activity, or I actually like to glue it to the top of the compare/contrast writing activity for a little added flare. 



Another fun activity we do - write about the Chinese New Year and glue it to a flap book with the dragon attached to the ends. You could also use the page without a title to do a Sam and the Lucky Money summary (or any book) 



Sam and the Lucky Money is one of my go-to books. It actually used to be a 2nd Grade story in the Reading series. I don't teach from the reading series, but it was one of the stories I actually did.



There's a really cute directed draw from Art Hub for Kids, too - a lantern. My kids always love doing those drawings. I'll post the link in our Google Classroom and it can be a center activity, the drawing to a writing response, OR maybe it's an option for morning "tubs" if they're finished with all their work. 



You can grab these activities (and some more!) in my Chinese New Year Mini-Unit





Another cute activity we do is with the book, The Panda Problem...just because. It's SUCH a cute book! It was a Florida Sunshine State book and I read it during this week and I fell in love with it! 


We did a directed draw from - yep, you guessed it - Art for Kids Hub, 


Then we did a little writing to go with it. You can download the free writing page HERE


Have a great Wednesday!

BITCOIN RECOVERY IS REAL!!!
( MorrisGray830 At gmail Dot Com, is the man for the job ) This man is dedicated to his work and you can trust him more than yourself. I contacted him a year and a half Ago and he didn't succeed. when i got ripped of $491,000 worth of bitcoins by scammers, I tried several recovery programs with no success too. I kept on. And now after so much time Mr Morris Gray contacted me with a success, and the reward he took was small because obviously he is doing this because he wants to help persons like me who fell for crypto scam, and love his job. Of course he could have taken all the coins and not tell me , I was not syncing this wallet for a year, but he didn't. He is the MAN guys , He is! If you have been a victim of crypto scam before you can trust Morris Gray 10000000%. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but Mr Morris Gray brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you sir...you can reach him via ( MORRIS GRAY 830 at Gmaill dot com ) or Whatsapp +1 (607)698-0239..

My name is Olivia Foster and I work as an event decorator. I travel a lot because I have many clients who live in different cities. Recently, I had to go to another city, rent a car there, because the customer wanted me to decorate his event for the Chinese New Year.

Have you heard about Cryptocurrency, bitcoin, Ethereum or Dogecoin? It's the trending form of investment that can change your financial status for the better. This was how I got to meet with the wrong platform for crypto investment and was duped over $100,000 USDT. This was supposed to be an investment plan that will change my life and sustain me for years ahead. I was ripped off and didn't know where or how to go about it. While surfing through the internet, I came across a pop up talking about Spyware Cyber and how they help victims recover stolen funds. This was quite scary to me but I chose to see how it would turn out. After few days of investigation , I got back my lost funds in full. I am so happy as I have decided to let the world also know about their effective service. Their contact information is as follows: spyware(@)cybergal(.)com

Good day everyone, I’m Doris Keeton and I wish to bring to your attention the service of the Spyweb Cyber team who helped me recover my stolen money. A few weeks ago, I was contacted on Instagram by someone pretending to be an account manager and forex investor, I was convinced to invest a huge sum of money through Bitcoins and Ethereum, I sent a total of $77,000 to this person and I was scammed off my money. I was really sad and frustrated, but while I was going through the pain of losing my money, a friend of mine told me about Spyweb Cyber recovery team, a genuine and reputable team with plenty of good reviews, I contacted them immediately and provided all the information they needed, and to my surprise, they recovered all the money that I lost. I highly recommend Spyweb if you need any assistance in recovering your money from these scammers.
