Start of the new Semester!

Hello again!

Welcome back Jaguar family, I hope everyone is well rested after Chinese New Year. We had a very busy first week which resulted in a fantastic first week.

Science: "Getting Food, and Where Animals Live"

Reading: We read "The List" which is the first story of McGraw Hill's reading book 4!

Phonetics: We did word building and consonant V.

Individual Comments:

Andrew again was the quickest student to finish his science work. He had minimal mistakes but
was having trouble pronouncing a lot of the reading. Sometimes I also see he gets distracted so, He will be moving closer to the front of the class.

Irene was great, her reading is really progressing fast. I definitely believe that it is her attitude that resulted in this tremendous change.

Gwen loved the double science portion we did this week. She also was supporting our new student Annie, helping support her emotionally during her first week in the class!

Timmy did really well with the reading comprehension of the new reading. He will continue to do well as long as he keeps his focus on improving his phonetics and reading out loud.

Tony read very well this week, as before his writing was a bit slow but overall he is back on track with the flow of the class.

Leo was doing superb in class this week, especially in science. He was able to breakdown some of the big compound words. However, like before he will sometimes read over words which results in pronouncing them incorrectly.

Devon was still in break mode this week, he was totally unfocused and was playing through all of the class. I hope he will learn from the lesson this week and make sure this does not happen again.

Hanna was cheery as always and I was happy to see that she was excited to come back to class. She participated well in class, Hanna's only weak point is that she will sometimes confuse the short and long vowel songs.

Annie's first week was an interesting one to say the least. She like many new students felt a bit nervous, but I know she will open up as the weeks progress. I look forward to getting to know her better!
