The start of a fantastic New School Year!

Hello Tree House Parents,

My name is Teacher Jason and this week has been a great pleasure thanks to my new Jaguars class. My goal is for my students to know they have the confidence to read and that I will notice all the effort that is taking place in and out of the classroom.I am already really excited cant wait for all the experiences we will have together throughout this year.

This week, we started our reading book which emphasized the short a sound and got familiar with all the basic sounds of the alphabet. We also worked on the concept on family and talked about how important and how we contribute to our everyday family life.

Individual comments

Irene has a very warm personality and seems excited to learn! In class she can be a bit quiet and I can tell she feels self conscious when speaking out loud. But I am positive this will change as she feels more comfortable with the other students and as we push on through the year.

Gwen is great! I rarely have to remind her to stay on task and she loves to put in her two cents into any discussion we have. I love her bubbly nature!

Andrew is incredibly hard working and is always one of the first ones done. I have to say that i am really glad that Andrew is in my class since I had spent a great deal with him over the summer. During that time I witnessed how hard he always pushes himself to learn which is truly rewarding for me.

Yo-Yo is much more talkative this year which really is great since this has made my communication with him a lot easier! Like I have said before, he reminds me when I was younger since the fact that he and I both were easily distracted students. I know that the needs that come with this, and will be working on showing Yo-Yo how to increase his focus.

Devon's humor and all around happiness is spreading through the class like a virus which definitely makes him a great addition to the class. He has a bit of a hard time focusing but moving him to the front of the class has already shown to help with the situation.

Julia is very similar with Irene. At first she was very hesitant to speak even to me but she is already gaining confidence in and outside of the classroom which is already allowing me to teach her individually. She is very artistic and I am glad that she is already starting to warm up to me!

Hanna is one of the quickest learners in the class! I am really happy to she that even at a young age, she picks up some of the more difficult content matter up with no difficulty. I cant wait to see how much she grows over this year!

Timmy- Behaviorally is the best in the class. He is always sitting up straight and has no problems inside the classroom in this sense. He also understand the verbal material well but I will be focusing on his speed of his writing, since he tends to drift off.

Well, hope everyone has a good weekend!

T. Jason
