Merry Christmas!

This week is Christmas week and a shortened week so we had to rush through many things.

This week for science we did chapter 6 "Shaping Earth's Surface". We talked about glaciers and the different ways that the surface shape of the earth can be changed. We also did the corresponding workbook pages for this lesson.

For reading Class A read "Pat Cummings" and Class B read "Grass Sandals". Both did the corresponding workbook pages.

We finished making Christmas cards and wrote greeting messages in them. The kids were encouraged to write how they feel about the person they were giving the card to.

We listened to the song "Grown Up Christmas List" in class. New vocabulary was not given out this week due to the holidays.

I apologize to Class B for Thursday. I had an emergency and explained it to the kids afterwards.

INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS

Livia was extremely helpful this week with the moving of the classroom. She was attentive in class as usual and very sweet.

Belinda made an exquisite Christmas card! She definitely has a talent for art! Belinda reads well and seems very interested in the story that we read.

Jay was attentive in class this week. He seems to enjoy the Science topic and participated much in our classroom discussions. He just needs to push himself a bit more.

Ryan has been great in class. Everything taught in class he can digest so quickly! Only one thing that needs to be improved on - to stay on subject during discussions !

Sydney is great when it's time to do work, however sometimes she can rush through work so fast that she misses a great deal of detail.

Brian is just excellent. He is a good reader and pays attention extremely well. However, he needs to improve his writing neatness!!!

Richard made a great Christmas card! He can concentrate when he wants to and he can offer some great insights during classroom discussions. However, many times he is too busy acting goofy in class!!

Tiger is eager to learn and has a really good habit of asking questions. However, many times he'll ask a questions BEFORE he even tries to understand it himself. I encourage students to try first then ask for help.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!
