Dear Parents,

This week we had two outings. We went to the "Discovery Center of Taipei" near the City Hall. We explored the old Taiwan. The most exciting part was to watch a film surrounded by TV screens on a revolving stage. The children were amazed by the technology. We also went to the Far Eastern Plaza Hotel to take pictures with the giant Christmas tree, and we saw the gingerbread man. Also, in the lobby of the hotel, there was a nutcracker and some nuts, so each child got a nut and the teachers helped cracked the nuts with the nutcracker. Everyone enjoyed eating the nuts.

For this week,

Math - We learned subtracting zero.

Reading - We learned the words, "map", "shack", and path". We also worked on the workbook, learning "hallway", "classroom", "gym", and "office", which we will go over them again next week.

Science - We learned about the sun, which gives the earth light and heat.

Art - We made drawings related to the Christmas theme.
