Dear Aztec Parents,
This week we completed:
Reading: We read the Knee- High Man skit. The children definitely enjoyed this type of reading since they could act out characters and it allowed them to be silly yet kept them focused on learning new words.
Phonics: we learned that when A, I, O, U is added with an E at the end, it makes a long vowel sound.
Accelerating English Language Learning- We learned about neighborhoods and the community. The kids learned that a community is made to help all the people that living in one means helping out your neighbors and businesses around their houses.
Individual Student Comments:
Phil- verbal skills are improving every week; he seems to love to read out loud.
Irene- had a great time doing the vocabulary games and won most of the activities! She has again been a lot of help to the students who had problems reading.
Aston- His behavior improved a lot and when reading he now can pronounce many of the words. To continue his reading improvement, he needs to do is spell out each letter then attempt to say the words that he doesn’t know. By doing this I am sure he will be more confident while reading in class and continue to do well.
Gwen- is doing great with the written work but I believes she needs to work on participating more so her speaking skills can improve.
Benson- I noticed that now he seems to enjoy actually speaking verbally and its really nice to see since he is usually very shy in class.
Eason- his behavior has really improved a lot inside the class and is picking up the phonics and vocabulary very quickly.
Yo-Yo- has paying better attention in class and it really shows because now he comprehends more of the questions asked and has no problem participating!
Leo- this week was the best at the vocabulary understanding and I was pleasantly surprised that he brought his vocabulary home to study on his own just to improve. That kind of drive will definitely cause his English to continue to improve!
Henry- Loves the new drawing game for vocabulary and its helping him definitely add to his understanding.
Till next time,
-Teacher Jason
