New workbooks & Families

This week, we received new workbooks. We did several pages of classwork exercises.

We also read a story about families that discussed what families do, what they did for work long ago, and what they did for fun long ago. We learned new vocabulary: care, share, listen, hug, raise, furniture, invite. We talked about how we show our families that we love them and how our families show that they love us.

Andrew continues to do good work. He is very good at learning and remembering the vocabulary definitions. He completes his written work more slowly, but has been focusing better this week. He said that his parents work late and usually don't have time to play with him, especially his daddy, but he knows that they love him.

Aston had to go face the wall because he kept playing instead of focusing on the reading. He is very verbal but his reading is lagging.

Benson continues to do good work. He tends to come in late because he is finishing up his Chinese homework.

Gwen has been more distracted this week. As a result, she hasn’t been able to follow the reading as well.

Henry always wants to free draw. He needs to remember that class is for reading, writing, and speaking English, and that we only draw occasionally. He tends to come in late because he is finishing up his Chinese homework.

Irene has been great. Her classwork is always completed well and she is quick to help her classmates.

Leo gets very excited in class. He has difficulty staying in his seat. His speaking continues to develop. He gets very excited but has difficulty finding the right words to express himself. This week, he shared some candy and cookies with his classmates during break time, which everyone enjoyed.

Phil continues to do good written work, but has more difficulty expressing himself verbally. He tends to come in late because he is finishing up his Chinese homework.

Yo-Yo focuses better on his reading than on his writing.
