Hello Tree House Parents,

This week we covered:


Phonics
We reviewed all this months High Frequency words and worked on the H sound.

Reading
We read "Ships" in the McGraw-Hill Reading book, were almost done with the first book!

English Second Language Book


We started the school unit! Talking about different parts of the classroom and the activities we do while we learn.

Student Comments

Irene as always is writing well but is still a bit self conscious with verbal participation.

Gwen's been a great influence with some of the newer students. I see her supporting Irene and the others with high fives and supportive comments which has made the class atmosphere even better.

Andrew did better with his behavior and was a big help Yo-Yo and the others on his team win the vocabulary challenge we had at the end of the week

Yo-Yo's got quite the memory, he knew almost all the vocab for the first month! He is still struggling with minor behavioral problems, but is continuing to do better.

I believed Devon learned his lesson this week and I hope to see an improvement next week.

Julia really enjoyed the song for this week! This was the first time I heard her sing without me asking her!

Hanna contiues to do well in class. I was happy to see that she also was able to help others understand their reading comprehension!

Timmy is consistantly improving! He knew 90/100 of the vocabulary and really put an effort to participate this week.


Tony is picking up on his writing, and now he is starting to get a better understanding of the harder written questions in our workbooks!

It was great to finally have Leo back in the Class this week! He is already catching up pretty fast! I'm looking forward to seeing how he does as the weeks go on.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Moon Festival!
-Teacher Jason
