Dear Parents,

This week was a LONG one for the kids. Due to the Dragon Boat festival we had to make up a day. We were actually able to get some good work done though and all of the students are really making progress in certain areas. I am very happy with how well their reading is progressing and I can see that they are getting the concept of sounding out the words. We started a new book this week and they all were able to read it the first time without seeing it before. I am very happy that they were able to do this. We completed a few pages out of the Phonics book as well and we are almost finished with our Social Studies book. Good job guys! We are finished with the money section of the Math book and they were all able to know how to distinguish between a penny, nickel, and a dime and how much of those each of them are worth. Again, I would hope that they can also get some practice at home with Taiwanese money as well for it will be more beneficial to them in the long run. Monthly reports go out this week.

Individual Comments:

Ethan: Great reading today my little friend! Good behavior as well.

Adam: I hope he feels better soon. We missed him in class.

Rain: He has been very good lately, him and Terry can continue to sit next to each other.

Terry: Like I said above, I am happy with his performance and they can continue to sit next to each other.

Patrick: We are learning how to tie shoelaces and some at home practice would be beneficial.

Joyce: She did very well in class this week. Very good in class discussions as well.

Paige: Steady progress from her this week. Good job Paige.

Erin: She's talking a lot more and I can see that her English is improving.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday for next Monday will be coming upon us very quickly. I'll see all of you back in class on Monday.
