This is Teacher Scott. I've been teaching for Teacher Peter while he's on vacation. The kids have all been very good this week. We spent most of the week reviewing reading and science for next week's tests. In reading we did review, and in science we reviewed lessons 1-5.
On Thursday we read lesson 6 in science and did the accompanying book work.Next week we will have our science test on Wednesday and the Reading test on Thursday.

Week 12
We enjoyed our art projects. They look great! I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the exhibition this Friday evening. I will be out of town for the next two weeks to visit my family in Washington DC. Teacher Scott will be covering the class while I am gone.
Kevin has been a bit better behaved this week. It’s amazing the quality of work he is capable of when he asserts himself.
Andy has been doing great work this week. His artwork looks quite nice, though his attitude during the project was not always the best. After we got into it, he began having a good time but he was all complaints at the outset. His vocabulary sentences were incomplete again on Wednesday. He needs to do his homework.
Iris has been doing great work. Her writing is steadily improving.
Irisa is a great model for her classmates. Her work is top notch.
Jessica has been improving. She needs to take more care over her written work. I looked over her TOPS book the other day. She seems to not bother paying any attention to conjugating verbs.
Jordan is consistently well behaved and brings a superb work ethic to class every day.
Perry has been a bit better about staying on task in class. We made a bargain that if he is perfectly behaved for a whole week I would buy two peck for the class. His vocabulary sentences were incomplete again on Wednesday. He needs to do his homework.

Week 11
Everything is back to normal and we’re chugging through our coursework. We finished our first letters to our new pen pals in Ohio, USA and we hope to hear back from them soon.
Kevin has been having a relatively good week. He has got into trouble once or twice, but, in general, his in class behavior has been much more productive.
Adam has returned to his regular self. He was a little bit out of sorts last week. I assume that was the result of his midterms.
Perry has been more productive in class. We’ve had a number of talks about how joking around slows down the class and how we need to stay on task. Things seem to be improving.
Iris is doing great work. Her reading out loud is improving. Great attitude, great work ethic.
Irisa is excellent. Great attitude, great work ethic, super smart, etc.
Jessica has been making steady progress.

Week 10
Thank you all for coming out to our Halloween Party. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. It’s been good to get things back the normal routine this week. We’ve continued working on formulating a three paragraph essay. We have another bi-weekly vocabulary quiz this week.
Andy’s attitude in class seems to be deteriorating. I know he is stressed about his mid-terms at Chinese school but he still needs to do his English homework. He often shows up to class complaining about how much Chinese homework he has. We don’t assign that much homework in our class. He needs to write his vocabulary sentences on time. They are a great way to study for our vocabulary quizzes.
Kevin goes back and forth between being serious, doing solid work and being a completely destructive element in class. He needs to stop trying to make jokes in class. We have a lot of material to cover and he is slowing things down.
Perry also needs to settle down in class. He is too focused on trying to make jokes. I like to have fun with the kids, but he is taking things too far and slowing down the progress of the class. We have a lot of material to cover this semester.
Irisa is continuing to do good work in class. Keep it up.
Iris as well is doing very very strong work. We need to work on reading out loud.
Jessica has been a lot more on the ball this week. Her homework looked great. Keep it up.
Jordan has been continuing to work very diligently in class. He has an extraordinary work ethic. His sentences in his vocabulary book have been creative. This is a great chance to practice using more advanced sentence patterns. Keep it up.
