Dear Parents,

P.E. class was a blast this week. I have been working on obstacle courses with them to get their coordination and direction following skills up. Next week will be more of the same. They have done really well with it up to this point. Next month will be some basic basketball skills. Passing, dribbling, not being afraid of the ball. We got through a few pages in the Phonics, and Math books and covered more reading in the second book. They are all picking up on how to blend the phonetic sounds together and I have high hopes for the coming months.

If the weather permits then we will be doing more park P.E. classes so keep your fingers crossed. We will also be covering more of the same in all areas of English study. It is my plan to do a big Arts and Crafts day next week for springtime. The weather is getting warmer and spirits are up so this is a great time to bust out a fun craft that all of the kids can enjoy.

Individual Comments:

Ethan: He's been working on his focusing better this week and his reading is coming along.

Adam: Great job in reading and I am happy with how well he is progressing in the other areas study.

Rain: Great job with reading. Talking a bit too much with Terry though.

Terry: Again, talking too much with Rain and he needs to focus when it's class time.

Patrick: Great all around performance. Steady progress and his reading is starting to come along.

Emily: She's picking up the reading very quickly and I am happy to report only good things in the other areas of her learning progression.

Joyce: She's coming along... still too quiet though. Great job in reading class!

Theresa: It's great to have her in class and she's already started to buddy up with Paige!

Paige: Paige has kind of taken Theresa under her wing and I feel that they are becoming great friends.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll see all of you bright and early Monday morning.
