Friday rocks!

Hi Everyone!

Math is so much fun, always. We are learning how to sort things by color, size and shape. Classifying similar and different shapes, colors and sizes! It gets a little challenging but I think that everyone is trying hard!!! They actually need to follow instructions! Within the exercises, you need to either circle, color or mark an X on the item. Most of them are very good at following directions.

Phonics is also very exciting. We are learning the letter 'B.' Most of them can print upper and lower case 'Bb' on their own! It was not too difficult teaching them how to write the letter 'Bb.'

In Reading class, we reviewed 'I see red, blue, yellow.' We had a discussion about the story. The story is about a group of kids riding bikes and Mouse threw rocks onto the ground and ruined every one's bikes! Plus, we finished cutting out the high frequency and vocabulary words from our reading book. We were using the words to form sentences!

We are learning about Science!!! I love science, so do they!!! in Unit 1, we are learning about senses. The senses that we learned are - see, touch, smell, taste and hear.

Leo had a great time in the Philippines. He was so sweet to bring back gifts for everyone!!! Leo came back to TreeHouse with an awesome attitude. He tries his best to impress everyone at all times. On top of that, he's one of the first Penguins' to come to school... Keep up the amazing work!!! I am very proud of you.

Albert had a crazy week. His motor skills have improved so much. He's more willing to try new things. I am impressed with his verbal skills, he would tell me that his daddy shampoos his hair! I see a lot of positive reinforcement from home!!!

Aston has been a little more difficult during lunch. Otherwise, he is able to follow directions better. He's still having trouble recognizing numerals! Aston's verbal skills have improved a lot, he tries so much!

Devon was sick for a few days this week but he came back with a very positive attitude! He is following directions and commands better!

Hanna is being such a BIG SISTER! She continues to help Ruby with our daily routines. She is always trying to do more than I expect! She is such a superstar in class!!!

Claire is doing great in class! She is very helpful to Ruby. She loves Ruby. Claire is always volunteering in class. I am so happy to see so much self motivation from her!

Ruby is a fast learner! She gets along with all her classmates. Her motor skills are great - she can cut, color, print and basically do things on her own!!!

Everyone misses Serena! Hopefully she'll be back sooner than expected
