We had our first Chinese Club today sponsored by a group of Chinese DLI parents. The kids played games in Chinese (Bùyào chī pítè aka Don't Eat Pete!) and had a great time using their Chinese Language.

Check out our kindness week chain! Each one of these links represents an act of kindness from one student to another. It was awesome to see! The three classes that had the most acts of kindness was Mrs. Flinders, Mrs. Woolfenden, and Mrs. Davis. Keep up the good work and showing kindness to those around you.
