Our newest 5th grader, Cyrus, is from China and has very little English 
proficiency. To communicate with him, his teachers use a translator 
application on an iPad and our smartphones to communicate.  We honored 
Cyrus this week by creating art from his culture, Chinese Bamboo 
Paintings and benefited from his knowledge of Chinese calligraphy to add
 a signature using symbols from the Chinese alphabet.
