In class A we read the story "Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World" and did the according workbook pages. We also finished grammar and workbook pages for "Just a Dream" (that were not finished last week). In class B finished grammar and workbook pages for "Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World" and "Just a Dream". We also read about why chaining up a pet dog is a bad thing to do (pamphlet printed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA).
We also introduced new vocabulary and gave them a verbal pop quiz on week 11 vocabulary. A reminder: next Wednesday there will be a vocabulary quiz for week 11 and 12 vocabulary words.
This week's song was : "Hero" by Mariah Carey. This popular classic talks about how there is a hero in everyone. Everyone should believe in oneself. When no one's there to help you or when you feel sad, be strong and don't give up on your dream.
In writing we wrote about what the future will be like in 100 years, according to the student's own imagination. We then had public speaking practice.
Individual Comments:
Class A:
Jay has done well this week. He's been concentrating in class and doing consistent work. During the science competition, I was proud that Jay knew many of the answers!
Belinda is great as usual. She studied hard for the science test in class and did well. She learns the song lyrics really fast and has a talent for singing! She loved the science competition and did quite well!
Livia worked hard this week as usual, although she seemed a bit tired (probably from being sick). I hope Livia can participate a bit more and speak louder when she answers questions. She concentrates very well and is just so well behaved.
Ryan loved the science competition and knew almost all the answers. However, he was very competitive and got a bit upset when the other team jokingly said something to challenge his team. I explained that it's just something fun and that he shouldn't be so upset. I've noticed he has taken a bit longer time to improve his writing and double check his work this week. Good job!
Class B:
Sydney finishes work fast and concentrates hard but would make careless errors! She needs to read directions on the workbook before asking the teacher. The directions are easy to understand. During the vocabulary pop quiz she knew most of the answers, but still needs to review the words. For public speaking, Sydney cried and didn't want to participate. I explained to her that she shouldn't be shy to go up to speak in front of the class and that she needs to develop that skill.
Brian wrote a very good story about the future in writing! He wrote about people being vegetarians and people driving power cars. It's very good for someone his age. He was a bit shy at first to do public speaking, but after seeing other student go first, he was able to do it quite well. His class work is excellent - just need to double check his answers before handing it in (making careless mistakes because of not reading directions carefully).
Tiger got a high mark on the science test! He never disappoints and is always working hard in class. He is careful with his work and he thinks before he writes. His ability to learn songs quickly is amazing! He really enjoys singing! Tiger has improved a bit in reading, as he is remembering to follow along with his fingers and not stopping in between a sentence. Also, Tiger is a great drawer!
Richard paid attention well in class this week. For workbook questions, he needs to read directions carefully and look for answers in the book in detail. He needs to improve on his sentence structures and should read out loud the sentence to see if it makes sense. Richard need to be studying vocabulary words everyday (for the pop quiz, he didn't know most of the words).
FUN DAY: Arts and Crafts! We'll be doing some fabric drawings! =D
