Science
This is the start of the new part of our curriculum. So, this week I evaluated the kids on this new style of reading, though this new book is challenging, I believe we are ready to make science part of our weekly agenda!

Phonics
We went over J and B Consonants and high frequency words.
Science book

Song
"Better Together" by Jack Johnson. Shows simple metaphors and a very soft melody.

Student comments:
We started our next unit on Learning. We started discussing what is learning and how we can learn faster. This was a more difficult chapter, since the concept is more abstract, but the students are continuing through with stride.

Yo-Yo loved the addition of the science book to our curriculum. But, he did again repeat some behavioral problems, so he was not able to do the extra curricular activity at the end of Thursday lesson.

Andrew was exceptional this week. This is his first week as the role of leader of the class, and I am happy to say he was a great example!

Irene is now consistently improving in not only her behavior but also in her reading. Great job Irene.

Gwen didn't have a hard time adjusting to the science styled reading.

Hanna as always did great with most of her work, but behaviorally speaking she was a bit naughty. she wasn't as focused this week causing her to have a harder time with some of the science vocabulary.

Timmy was awesome, he understood all the new science vocabulary with ease. He also

Tony was a bit distracted this week. I had to tell him several times to get on the right page, so I will be keeping a better eye on him next week.

Julia I hope you feel better. You did great as the female leader this week, and hope to see you on Monday.

Leo was superb this week. He enjoyed the science reading even though it was a lot more challenging than the material he was previously reading.

Devon was misbehaving this week, he wasn't following directions on Thursday so he was not allowed to do any of the extra activities.
