TD's Summer Reading Club Week Three: 4s - 6s

Week 3 of the Summer Reading Club has wrapped up! We had lots of fun exploring the Great Wall of China! 

We read lots of stories this week:

"Legend of the Chinese Dragon", by Marie Sellier. A great thing about this book is that it can be read in English and Chinese.

"Every Year on Your Birthday", by Rose Lewis, following a young Chinese girl adopted by an American family.

"Great Wall of China", by Kate Riggs, an information book about how, why, and when the wall was built, and what's happening with it today.

And finally, "We're Riding on a Caravan: an Adventure on the Silk Road", by Laurie Krebs and Helen Cann. This book has a catchy song in it, and a nice rhyming pace.

We had two different kinds of arts/crafts this week.

First, we made our own Great Walls of China with a handprint banner:

Miss Shannan and I added our hands to this banner, as well!

We also made some hanging Chinese lanterns:

We used: 
- toilet paper rolls
- colored paper
- stick glue
- markers (for those who decorated their lanterns)  

Remember, we draw for prizes every Friday at 4:00!

Next week, we explore the Great Pyramids of Egypt!
