Hello jaguar Class!

Phonics: We started long vowels A and E.

Reading: We read "Time Magazine for Kids: Going Camping."

Science: We started our section on Animals and how we can differentiate between the different groups. We also learned how to compare and contrast things.

Individual comments:

Yo-Yo was much better behaved this week. He got all his written done, and i wish the best on his tests in chinese school.

Andrew behaved well and as always finished written work on time. However, he needs to put more effort in his vowel recognition, since he was confusing short a sound with e and u.

Irene was great, honestly I am astonished how quickly she improves. She is able to break down pretty complicated words on the first try!

Gwen had minimal mistakes with the comprehension, and was in better control of her fidgeting.

Timmy did much better this week than weeks prior, I just have to make sure I stay alert to his wandering mind!

Tony is doing well as always. He read well and is actually improving in writing speed. Still has a ways to go but hes making stride!

Julia is continuing doing the steps to help her remember her words and what she learns better. She asks many times to make sure she got some of the harder words, and I know she wants to improve a lot.

Leo was doing a bit better this week, he still is acting a bit lazy but I am sure this saturdays lesson will shape him up.

Devon was on better behavior. He can read ok, but his writing is still a ways to go.

Hanna had her first real challenge this week. There was a word she couldn't pronounce and got really frustrated with, so i'll be focusing more on word pronunciation techniques with her individually. Other than that, she was doing as well as ever.


Please take care, and have a great weekend!
