This week was another busy week for the class, this week we:

Science book: We went over different kinds of weather and how they affect the growth of different plants. We will be finishing up the plant section this upcoming week.

Phonics: Had grammar practice, where we went " 's" and the use of quotations.

Reading: We started the third book in our reading series and it was well recieved by the kids. They understood the first story with minor help along the way! This week, we read "Stan's Stunt."


Individual comments:

Yo-Yo got his work done, but at a much slower pace then he once was doing. I've talked to him several times prior, so now he will be sitting in front of me during next week's classes. He's got the comprehension down, just have to remind him to stay focused!

Andrew did well with written, but is having a bit of a difficulty with his phonetics. I've said it time and before, he needs to work on slowing down his speech and enunciate every sound clearly.

Irene was terrific! She was not only well behaved, but also, her reading comprehension has picked up tremendously fast!

Gwen is doing well with the actual reading, but needed a bit more help on the written work. Sometimes she will blaze through the papers and only go slower after I've already graded her work. Once she slows down a bit more, I am sure well see an improvement in her written.

Timmy was excellent. He became leader this week and was the model student!

Tony had troubles with writing speed again, but I am happy to say that he was one of the smoothest readers during this weeks lessons. He also retained the vocabulary quickly and I'm glad to see him become more independent!

Julia at first was not doing so well this week. She was putting minimal effort into her work, but I got her to snap out of it and she finished the week strong. I'll be making sure that she is working hard continuously.

Leo was a rockstar this week. He did all his work with ease and read very clearly. He however is having a bit of a hard time remembering vocabulary, so if possible, I would like to see him come on mondays more often.

Devon is starting to improve. I need the support at home so that he continues to take more responsability for his own actions.

Well, have a good weekend
