We did many exciting activities this week in class. In science class we are learning about what plants and animals need to live. We are also learning the parts of plants. So we made our own flowers to reinforce what we have learned. In math class we are learning how to identify where things are, ex. On the top/middle/bottom shelf. And in phonics we are learning about the letters "T" and "S". We learned how to deal with anger and what we should do if our friends get angry or if we get angry at our friends.

Jason is easily distracted in class and misses chances to learn because if I am talking to the class as a whole, he often focuses his attention on other things. I need to spend alot of one-on-one time with him just so he can keep up. However, he did really well in phonics this week and is begining to understand begining sounds.

Leetrue has a tendency to "tune out" the teacher, but he very much wants to please me and be a good boy. I'm trying to teach him how to ask for things he wants in a more positive way. For example, instead of crying that he doesn't have something, he should ask his friend if he can have a turn.

August is doing well. He loves to participate in out activites and the quality of his work is appropriate for his age. Keep it up August!

Ryan is a nice boy and he does everything asked of him without complaint. However, he does have a bad habit of making very loud noises both in and out of class which I am working to stop. He does not yet realize that not only does it annoy the teachers butit also annoys the older children. Fortunately, the children in our class are too young to get annoyed by loud noises. Ryan is also a little behind in his coloring, cutting skills and writing skills. I am working hard with him and he should be caught up in no time.

Christine gets her work done quickly and with quality. She does however contrtribute to some of the anarchy that sometimes happens in the class, she is smart enough though to keep her expliots to a minimum so as not to attract too much attention from me, but I still see what she does. This behavior is apropriate for her age and I will correct her and make her understand why she is disruptive. Over all she is a very godo student.

Jae is doing great. She has good coordination and good writing skills since she is a bit older than the others. She still has a bad habit of interupting other peoples' conversation, but I will keep telling her to wait until we/they are finished talking.

Theresa is doing wonderfully she is very sharp and pays close attention in class. She is rarely distracted by her friends and is therefore a good example to the rest of the students.
