Dear Parents,

This week was steady as she goes. They all participated in class and were focused and ready to learn. In Math class we have been working with patterns and I can see that they all are starting to get the hang of it. We covered some more phonetic sounds in Phonics class and they are starting to catch on with that as well and I have confidence that by next semester they will all be reading very well. We are working on animals in Science class and we are going to doing a project with that theme in the coming weeks. On top of all of the work we have been doing we also have had some good fun as well with games and activities to reinforce the taught material. This month is Halloween month so all of our arts and crafts will be centered around this theme.

Individual Comments:

Hank: We was acting up a bit in class this week but after having a talk with him he calmed down and did a lot better. Happy birthday by the way, Hank!

Terry: Very focused and ready to learn this week. I was pleased with his performance all around.

Ethan: He has been lying to me recently... even though he knows how much that makes me angry. I need to see a turn around from him ASAP.

Adam: He has been really good lately and he really seems to be putting in a great effort all around!

Marcus: Steady progress was made this week and I can see that he is really starting to get the hang of how he should be on a daily basis.

Patrick: I am happy to report that he has really come out of his shell and started to talk quite a bit. He is also very helpful in the class.

Emily: Other than on Wednesday; her attitude was wonderful. I think maybe bringing her back in class wasn't the best idea... oh well, she did great when she got back in class though.

Paige: She has been very talkative this week and I really hope that this becomes a common occurrence.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend and that the typhoon doesn't hit again so that you can get outside and have some fun.
