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

Science book: We finished the chapter on Plants.

Phonics: We worked on the G and X consonants. We also continued working on how to indicate what tense is used in sentences.

Reading: We read "Greg's Mask." Was a bit difficult for the students, but the challenge was overcome and the students seemed a lot more confident with their reading sklls.


Individual comments:

I am really hoping that Yo-Yo learned his lesson from this weeks events. I hope all goes well, and would like to talk more on Monday about his progression.

Andrew like always does fine with written work, but the problem is he sometimes just zones out when other people are reading. This causes him to miss out on the errors other students make which he ends up making himself.

Irene is doing substantially better. Her reading is improving now at a increasingly faster rate. Keep it up!

Gwen put more effort into her written work this week. It still is a bit of a struggle but she listens more and is asking questions at the appropriate time.

Timmy like always was superb. He annunciates each part of words correctly, including the ones he does not know.

Tony had no problems this week. He worked hard and was reading well, he needs to work a little on annunciation but hes clearly making a step in the right direction.

Julia struggled a bit this week with all the reading comprehension, but she kept on persevering and its paying off. Even though she had to ask quite a few questions, she was able to understand the whole story and how to read each word correctly. These are great steps for her improvement!

Leo was not here all week, and missed quite a lot of grammar and sentence pattern work. I will get him caught up as soon as he comes, and obviously the sooner the better.

Even though Devon was sick, he was continuing with a better attitude. Get better soon Devon.

Well, have a good weekend
