Hello Aztec Parents!!


As I'm sure you know by now, teacher Annie had to leave back to the United States and now I am the active teacher for the Aztec class. After my first week, I can already tell that this is going to be a great class to teach and excited to see each student's development!


Andrew- I can tell already that he is a smart boy who is clearly eager to learn. What I have noticed though is he understands concepts well but takes quite a long time when asked to do written work due to him being so incredibly detailed.

Yo-Yo- Very eager to contribute to the class and reads well. He is easily distracted though and needs reminders in order to finish his work.

Gwen- I love that she has a very bubbly personality but this in turn causes her to interrupt the class and causes her to get out of her seat constantly. Also, I noticed that her reading ability improves a lot more once she quiets down and pays attention.

Eason- Has excellent reading ability and can pronounce new words very well. The only difficulties with him so far is his lack of sharing material with others and some attitude problems.

Irene- Another great reader and listens to directions very well. I can see that she needs to work a bit on her phonics skills.

Aston- Has a great imagination and good verbal skills but causes him to speak out of turn very frequently. He has potential to learn a lot faster then most children his age but in order to do so, he really needs to learn how to focus on his tasks.

Phil- Also has great verbal skills and is very self confident. But the problem with that is, he tends to argue back, which resulted in him being disciplined twice this week.

Leo- Listens very well and I was very happy to see that he had no problems when sharing with other students. He is eager to learn and just needs to work on raising his hand before he speaks.

Benson- Incredibly quiet when asked to read in class but I am sure that will change as we increase his participation in class. He behaves great and is very receptive to my instruction.

Henry- Again, I Did not really get to see much of him this week due to him being sick. What I did notice though is he's exceptionally creative when it comes to art.

Also, I would like to apologize for the late post, over the weekend I was recovering from a minor sickness. And Lastly, I strongly encourage everyone to email or contact me in person, if you would like to discuss anything regarding your children.
