Project Life:
Project Life: Do you have any pets? Take some pics of your pet and what you love about him/her.
If you don’t have any pets, would you like one? What kind of pet would you get?
Or, you can think of an animal that you often see outside. What would you say to it if, one morning, all animals could suddenly talk? Can you imagine having a conversation with an animal?
Birthday Card:
Happy ½ birthday to James! Make him a card!
Happy ½ birthday to Joey! Make him a card!
Happy ½ birthday to Will! Make him a card!
Book Club:
Our January Book Club book is Polar Bears Past Bedtime. Get reading!
1. Geography Songs :
Are you working on your Geography Songs? I hope you are listening often! It is so easy to memorize things when we set words to music. By now you should know Continents and Oceans and all of the states in the United States.
This month we are studying Asia! Listen to this song (CLICK HERE) that has all the countries of Asia. Once you have it memorized you can find the countries on a map and before long, you’ll know them all!
I have a map that has the countries on one side and is blank on the other to practice with. I keep forgetting to give them to you. Please remind me 🙂
2. Project
1.Watch THIS VIDEO. The video tells one of my favorite stories: How silk was discovered in CHINA. Amazing! I love that silk comes from a worms cocoon. I ordered you a silkworm that you can take home! It will make a great pet, but soon it will spin it’s beautiful silk thread into a cocoon. We are going to see if it can make you a silk bookmark! Ask your mom: Do we have anything made from silk? It would be fun to go feel how “silky” it is:)
2. Did you know origami comes from Japan? Watch THIS VIDEO to make an origami sword. (Or if you want to make origami that isn’t a sword that’s okay too.)

3. Books!
Check out books on Asia from the library. Ask your mom. She may have a few already available for you. Picture books are my favorite way to learn! Here are a few I suggested that your mom may have purchased.
The Empty Pot
Ling and Ting
Grandfather Ghandi
Inside Out and Back Again (Free on Audible)
Look What Came From China
Boys Without Names (This book is longer. Our family is doing this as a read-a-loud.)
4. Movie Time
Ask your parents first, but a few I would recommend are:
China: Mulan, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Kung Fu Panda
Russia: Anastasia, The Russians are Coming
India: Mother Teresa
Thailand: The King and I
Vietnam: Operation Dumbo Drop
China: The Amazing Panda Adventure
In class
After presentations we are going to focus on China! We’ll eat Chinese food, fortune cookies, light off some fireworks, try to draw our names in Chinese and make a dragon for Chinese New Year. We’ll also get our picture taken with Chinese Lanterns.
