On Monday, we reviewed our clothing vocabulary from last week with a game of Bingo. We also did presentations about what we did this past weekend, and students were encouraged to ask each presenter questions about what they did that weekend.

On Tuesday, we did phonics exercises and a Spring word search. We learned new vocabulary, such as: hatch, sprout, showers, bloom, etc.

On Wednesday, we finished our Spring word searches and reviewed the Spring vocabulary.

On Thursday, we did exercises in our reading workbook and reviewed the Spring vocabulary with chants and individual sentences.The words "warm" and "worm" have proven to be particularly confusing for students.

Andrew has a very good vocabulary and general knowledge base: he told us that "a worm is part girl and part boy." I was very impressed.

Aston talks too much during class. I understand that he gets excited about things, but there is an appropriate time and place for telling stories besides during class time, particularly when the rest of the class is working on a writing assignment.

Benson: continues to do good work, listens in class, and absorbs the material. He is a very sweet and cheerful boy.

Eason has trouble staying in his seat and not bothering the other students. His vocabulary is good, he does good work and understands the material, but he needs to learn to control himself more.

Gwen has been better about controlling herself this week and not getting too hyper. She needs to ask the teacher when she doesn't understand something, rather than remaining silent.

Henry's sentences all too often include unnecessary "the"s, e.g. "I like to play the basketball" or "I go to the kung fu class." Even when asked to repeat after the teacher, "the" still crops up in his spoken sentence structures.

Irene continues to do good work in class, but she can be a little haughty / impatient with the other students.

Leo gets out of his seat too much to ask the teacher questions. He needs to remember to stay in his seat and raise his hand if he has a question.

Phil doesn't like presenting or speaking very much in general. He needs to work on his willingness to speak out loud if he wants to improve his English.

Yo-Yo needs to listen more closely to directions. He often doesn't pay attention and has to have the instructions repeated to him.
