Highlights of the week for Theo

This is the table height survey where we are choosing the height of our tables.  Our table is fine.

These are the moon cakes we tried in class.  They have an egg yolk in the middle and a lotus seed paste as the filling.  They are Vietnamese and Chinese traditions.  We read books about them. We celebrate the Autumn Harvest moon with moon cakes.

We are working on an identity poster that has a book recommendation, a picture of our family, our hopes and dreams, our favorite activity, and the summer of 2017. This is showing the progress on identity posters.

We got to see the instruments that we could choose for instrumental music.  A lot of people wanted the trumpet, the clarinet, and the violin.  I want the violin.
