Hello Jaguar Parents!

Another week is done and it was another thrilling one for the always awesome Jaguar Class.

This week we completed:

Reading
After we finished "Splash!" reading comprehension homework, I decided we needed to have a little change of pace. So this week we tried something different, I taught the kids about how to read and use simple recipes! This included not only the usual reading activities but also, on Thursday we made cookies! This gave the children a hands on understanding of a new form of reading and I think its obvious they loved it.

Phonics
F, C and N consonants

Student Comments

Yo-Yo did well this week. He understood the recipe concept pretty quickly and definitely enjoyed the experience of making the cookies himself. He did however was a bit antsy and ended up falling out of his chair. I think after the experience and a little couching, he now understands why I ask that each student sit properly at all times. Sometimes I suppose you just have to live and learn!

Andrew was working hard this week and for that reason was one of the main helpers in the cookie making day. His reading is improving daily, he just needs to keep absorbing more and more vocabulary.

Irene continued with a good stride this week. She knew how to work with rhymes quicker than most students, which showed me that she can easily succeed if she puts her focus on any concepts.

Gwen again was great with being a student helper and I am glad that she enjoys the responsibility. She however still is talking a bit too frequently so I had to have a serious sit down and talk to her about it.

Hanna is exceptional when it comes to classwork and the face she made when I told them were making cookies was priceless!

Timmy as always was well behaved. He understood the concept of recipe and I know for a fact he loved the cookie and milk experience. Considering the fact that there was chocolate all over his face afterward!

Tony Loved this week. This week he did all the written homework on his own which is a big step in the right direction.

Julia had a few problems this week but I could tell she really learned from what happened. I hope she always remembers this lesson "Cheaters never prosper!" She is a good girl and I think this was a slip up.

Leo was out for half the week again which was a shame. Because I wish he had a chance to do some of the extra activities like the cookie making which I feel makes the class feel more unified and warms up everyone. Hope next time he gets the chance.

Devon had probably the most fun this week cause we all know that he has quite the sweet tooth. He also managed to learn some vocabulary this week while chewing his way through his cookies.

Well hope everyone has a good weekend.
