This week, we practiced every day for our Mother's Day performance. We took breaks from practicing to do some phonics, free draw, and finish our Mother's Day cards. On Wednesday, we went to the Daan Public Library for a dress rehearsal on the stage. It was a very long day.

On Friday, we will perform our show for the parents. Happy Mother's Day to all the Tree House mothers out there who are so important in their children's lives. Enjoy your special day with your families!

Andrew loves to show things he has brought to Tree House from Chinese school. He is very good at describing things.

Aston continues to be extremely verbal. He loves to tell stories.

Benson got in trouble for erasing the whiteboard after the Teacher had written something on it for other students to copy.

Eason got in trouble for throwing a pencil at the Teacher instead of handing it over nicely, and speaking Chinese during class.

Gwen did some nice work this week.

Henry got in trouble this week for hitting and kicking other students. He has to learn to control his anger and tell the teacher when he is upset. Hitting Aston for looking at Henry's paper, and kicking Benson for touching Henry, are not appropriate responses when the other children haven't done anything harmful to Henry.

Irene is a good student and very reliable.

Leo forgets when it is his turn to say his line during rehearsal. Hopefully, he will get it right by the time of the show.

Phil had a hard time after such a long, hot rehearsal on Wednesday. He can be a sensitive boy. He also got in trouble for speaking Chinese during class on Thursday.

Yo-Yo used his middle finger to point at something in class. We discussed how it was inappropriate and he shouldn't use his middle finger to point at things because it is like saying a bad word.
