Kindergartners celebrate moon festival!

Thursday, September 19th was the moon festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival.  Kindergartners read books like "Thanking the Moon" and "Round as a Mooncake" by Grace Lin in English class with Mrs. Jiang to learn more about the moon festival.  Students also drew and wrote about what their own Moon Festival picnic would look like!

In Chinese class with Ms. Wang, students practiced writing the character 月 （yue） for moon and made their own play-doh mooncakes.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
