Dear Parents,

This week was very busy due to the Christmas show, we didn't have class on Wednesday, so we moved it to Friday; therefore, there was no fun day today. The Christmas show went really well. As Christmas is approaching, the weather has gotten really cold these two days, hope everyone stays warm!

For this week,
Reading - we read "Child of the Owl", about a girl moving to her grandmother's house to live with her in Chinatown, San Francisco. The girl and the grandmother learned alot from each other. For example, the grandmother told the girl that the "face is a map of the soul". A beautifully curved eyebrows like silkworms, means that the person is clever. The grandmother also learned from the girl that radio stations could be switched and turned back to the same station. Furthermore, we wrote down some new vocabularies and their meanings. We also wrote a story about what can old people learn from the young and vice versa.
For Grammar - We worked on the workbooks and learned what are Pronouns, Antecedents, and Contractions.
For Science - We took a test on Chapter 5, and we started on Chapter 6.
For writing - We brainstormed and wrote on a topic, "The best thing I've ever learnt..."
