It's been a great week and I've enjoyed getting to know each of our students. This is clearly and extremely bright, hardworking class. I've already been very impressed with their level. They keep laughing when I ask them if they know words which "are soooo grade 2 level." I hope that this semester we will have fun and be productive. I run my classroom a little different than some other teachers and I recognize that it takes many students some time to get used to. I welcome the challenge and I hope your children do as well.
Andy is clearly and extremely bright, inquisitive young man. He asks lots of questions and is very interested in learning. There are times when he speaks out of turn or gets a little to excited in class. There are also times when he thinks that I am treating him unfairly. He needs to learn to wait his turn and not try to speak over other students. I welcome his questions but I don't tolerate being interrupted by students in my classroom. We will need to work together to find a middle ground where everybody can learn productively and have fun together.
Perry is a bright young man and also asks lots of questions in class. Sometimes his questions are productive and sometimes they are off topic. I hope that he will put an effort into keeping on topic in class and not asking questions simply to get a laugh out of his friends.
Kevin has similar problems to Perry. He is also extremely bright and also gets over excited and off topic very easily. I hope he will try to stay focused on the subjects we are learning during class time this semester.
Irisa is very bright, focused and generally interested in learning. She reads with emotion and character uncommon in learners of English as a second language.
Iris is also smart, well behaved and hard working. I look forward to getting to know her better over the semester.
Jessica is a little quieter than her classmates. We will work on her reading fluency and speaking out over the coming semester.
Jordan is also a little quieter than his classmates but when he does speak, he speaks accurately. New teachers can be intimidating to some students, especially foreign men. We will work on him speaking out over the coming semester.
