Week 21!

This week for reading we read "Scruffy, the Arctic Wolf". This story is a real-life story that describes the life of a wolf pack and how hard it is to survive in the freezing arctic climate. Corresponding workbook questions were assigned, however Class A did not complete everything (will finish next week).

For Science,we started Chapter 7: The Sun, Moons, and Planets. It is an interesting topic that discusses about space and the different 'heavenly bodies'. The students seem very interested on the subject!

New vocabulary words were assigned and a new song called "Four Seasons of Loneliness" by Boyz to Men was introduced.

Week 17,19, and 20 vocabulary quiz was taken this week. Most students did quite well despite the extra vocabulary words to study for!

We also started designing our own 'Transformer' picture to decorate our brand new classroom!

INDIVIDUAl COMMENTS:

CLASS A:

Ryan has a lot to offer during Science class and makes the class interesting! He got perfect on the vocabulary test as well! When we go over the vocabulary words in class, I hope Ryan can still write down the sentence examples given.

Livia did great on the vocabulary test this week! She is a great listener and very artistic. One thing to improve on would be to read louder in class.

Jay is very interested in and good at Science. When he is alert, he excels in the class. However, for the vocabulary test he was not confident and prepared for it so he seemed to give up. I hope he can change that habit of not putting in 100%.

Belinda takes her time to do her work but only because she wants to do a good job. For the vocabulary quiz she took a long time, but managed to get a great mark! I like the effort she puts in to the class. She is also very artistic!


CLASS B:

Richard seems to want to get his work done fast, but would then make many mistakes because he is not reading the directions and questions carefully. Richard is good at making sentences and is very good at drawing! I hope he can put in more effort when we sing the songs and also be less goofy!

Tiger is goofy a lot in class, but still he manages to get his work done. He is very good at making sentences and his grammar has really improved. He still needs to write bigger though!

Sydney maintains good work ethics. She gets down to work really fast and is always the first to finish. I am really happy with her work and progress in class!

Brian loves to participate in class and he is able to grasp concepts so fast! He gets down to work right away as well and finishes his work fast. Sometimes when we are reading though, Brian needs to follow along and not get ahead of everyone else.


**FUNDAY: With regards to fun day, many students are not showing up or staying for the events. I would like all kids to participate if they can, as this is a good time to socialize and bond with the other students from the school!
