Teacher Peter has returned!

I'm glad to see the kids made their way through exam week without me in good form. The grades on the reading test, especially, were a little bit low but we've been talking about how to take these tests. They're a little bit different than what most ESL students are accustomed to.

Irisa has been doing good work but she seems a bit more reserved than usual. I hope in the next few days she will return to her normal, vibrant self.

Iris, as always, is a model student in class. She was a little disappointed about her reading test results. The grade wasn't great but it was at the upper end of the class. These things will come with time.

I've been putting a lot more stress on Jordan to speak out in class. He seems to be coming out of his shell a little more.

Andy needs to focus a little more in class. He has been getting easily off task.

Kevin needs to stop goofing off in class.


I've spoken to Jessica about paying attention to detail on her written work. It seems, often, like she just doesn't bother trying to use grammar. A lot of her work is completely devoid of verb conjugations, plural forms, etc. She should be doing better.

Perry was punished on Wednesday and had to wear a diaper in class. He cried for the first 5-10 minutes then was back to his normal self making jokes and being disruptive. We will have to find another way to make this work.
