This week, we read several stories: "Home and School," "Ben's Jobs," and "Ruby Bridges Hall." We also talked about what it means to be brave and have courage, what we are scared of, and what our jobs are at school and at home, and things we are curious about. We also did presentations about our weekends.

Phil is curious about fruit (because he likes to eat it) and platypuses. He feels his job at home is to sleep and his job at school is to be quiet.

Andrew is very good at grasping the meaning of new words. He is curious about dinosaurs, and scared of bats and owls.

Aston talks a lot in class and has difficulty reading, both problems that are exacerbated by his difficulty focusing. He is curious about food - whether it's fake food or real food.

Eason asks great questions during the presentations, but lacks self-control when it comes to good behavior; i.e. he is always grabbing at things and jumping out of his seat, etc. He is curious about aliens, and he is scared of vampires.

Yo-Yo is curious about everything. He says he is not scared of anything.

Gwen is curious about lions. She has a bad habit of writing out her sentences by columns of letters, rather than writing the whole thing out sentence by sentence. She needs to start writing them sentence by sentence.

Irene generally leaves class early for dinner, but is good at doing her work within the allotted time. She is scared of ghosts.

Leo is scared of spiders. He is curious about snakes and beetles.

Henry is brave when he sees a big dog. He is scared of snakes. HIs job at home is to clean up the toys, and his job at school is to put away the books.
