Chinese New Year Presentation

Warren Gee, Lily's dad, tells the Chinese Zodiac story

Besides the CerritoBerry meeting, buddies,  and art (students are learning calligraphy and making journals for their trip on the Oregon trail), Warren Gee, Lily's dad, came to class to celebrate the Chinese New Year.  He came last year, too, and apparently each year Lily's been in school.  Even having already heard the Chinese zodiac story last year, I found it equally interesting--Warren has such a composed, centered presence and speaks in a captivating way.  There's a shortened version here (but not as good as Warren's).  Warren also brought treats--candy with the edible wrappers and custard buns and also left a mandarin orange for good luck. Thanks for another great presentation, Warren, and gung hay fat choy to everyone! Click here for a few more pictures from today.

Anjanette, Pasquale and Anika perform a song for Talent Friday
Next week students are presenting their reading group presentations, and you are all invited to see them.  It will be from 12:45-1:30 on Thursday in the classroom.

Have a nice weekend!
