This morning we saw an assembly about Chinese dancing in the gym. There were kindergarten and first grade classes in the audience. The dancers used lots of different props like a spear, fans, ribbons, and paddles. 
One of the dancers did a warrior dance with a large spear. 
He spun it above his head and around his body. Hunter thought it looked like he was going to hurt himself! Another dance was called the fan dance. When the three dancers got together and held their arms and fans up and spun around, it looked like a flower. 
The dancers taught us how to do some dances. We learned how to make a tiger mouth and also an orchid with our hands. 
Towards the end of the performance, the dancers chose children to participate. 
Lauria and Eesha were chosen! They learned how to use ribbons to make waves, waterfalls, and rainbows. 
At the end, they had to make waves real fast and spin around quickly. That made Lauria dizzy. Both children had lots of fun! 
Today was the day for red book bag shoppers to shop. Many children continue to move to new baskets and discover interesting new books!
Speaking of books…we went to the library after lunch. Mrs. Cornelius taught us a new game on the computer that helped us get to know the letters on the keyboard. There are different doors to go through. Each level got harder and harder. Some kids were on the computer while other kids were exchanging their books.
In P.E. we were practicing the different parts of the obstacle course. We had to do the George Washington Bridge two times and then we could do whatever we wanted. On Thursday we will start doing the whole thing!
