Week 32: Suki's Kimono

Dear Parents and Students,
This week our main selection is Suki’s Kimono. Suki is so enchanted with the kimono and wooden shoes that her grandmother gave her this summer that she insists on wearing them to her first day of first grade. Her older sisters are embarrassed. At first it looks like it might be a disaster! There are quite a few snickers. But Suki is so sure of how wonderful she looks that she soon wins over her new friend, new teacher, and new class.

Activity
Talk together about your cultural background and characteristics of that culture. What are some traditions that your family shares? How do you celebrate holidays or special occasions?

Don't forget to study this week. You will find your language practice sentences, spelling list, and homework listed on the right side of this page. Our tests will be on Friday. Let's start the last six weeks off with a bang!

Let's have great week!
Thanks,
Mrs. Telford
