Boo! Halloween

Hi, there!
We got a new stereo from Teacher Paul this week. We enjoy having music any time that we want. The kids love the “Sunday” song so much. “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday…………………. Oh! Happy day….”

Halloween is coming within two weeks. All of us can’t wait for Halloween to come sooner. Beside “Trick or Treating” and a “Scary Maze”, we decorated our class room with trick or treat bags and other stuff related to Halloween. We learned so many chants and rhymes. They are “Five Little Pumpkins”, “Ten Little Pumpkins”, and many more.

In Science class, we talked about the parts of plant. We also discovered the life cycles of plants. They start as seeds, and then grow roots, stems, flowers and fruits. Then they start again in the cycle as seeds. They love my story about apples that grow in the apple trees. We also reviewed our senses.

In Phonics, we finished our phonic books, and we went through many other words such as man, mop, map, milk, muffin, and mitten. And moved on letter Kk as in kitten, kite, king, key and kiss

Math classes were also fun as well. We introduced some new concepts for patterns. If there is one bird going to join this group of birds… Should it fly up or down? We read a story about “Learning Patterns”.

For reading, we read “Can Pig Nap?” We reviewed the phonic sounds –AN and -AP…. Also we introduced –AT, AS, MAT, and CAT. Almost all of them did well, but there were a few slower ones.The Kids should follow along with their fingers while they are reading.

Serena finally returned to the Penguin class after disappearing for one month. She had an operation on her eyes. Sometimes, I still see her not focusing. Serena usually comes to school later so she can’t nap during nap time. She is so happy to see her friends again. She is very active while we are singing and dancing. Now, her best friends are Claire, Hanna and Ruby.

Devon likes to work independently, but sometimes he whines for nothing. I also notice he has a set of colors he likes the most. He loves green. Devon has no problem with drinking water. But, I need to constantly remind him, otherwise he forgets. He is so outspoken than he was months ago. I couldn’t help it but to take pictures for him when I had camera in hand.
Ruby loves to sing and dance along with Hanna and Rochelle. Ruby is catching up on her phonics with the others. Ruby likes to play with girls, especially her buddy, Hanna. She copies whatever she does.

Aston likes to draw, but he’s a bit lazy sometimes. Aston likes to share stories when other kids are doing the same. Aston has a short attention span. I pay special attention to him when we have reading class. Now, he eats on his own; sometimes he’s a little too slow if he’s picky with his food. He remembers to wash his hands all the time with soap. But, I caught him many times when he wipes his wet hands on his pants.



Rochelle loves to smile. She’s also very photo genetic. She makes poses when she sees a camera. She likes to help the young ones. The other day, while we were doing crafts, she volunteered to help Devon to cut. I think that she helps mommy at home as well.

Crystal loves to participate in class. In the mornings, I don’t force her to drink too much water; otherwise, she will have accidents during nap time. Crystal is self-disciplined. She knows when and what to do in a certain situation. She is also one of the best behaved students, along with Rochelle and Claire. I wish she could come to school earlier than 9 o’clock.





Claire had a problem in the morning 2 times in the row this week. Claire is really smart with her unique personality, unlike the other kids. She had a hard time writing capital M and small M. She raises her hand to answer questions whenever she wants to. She needs to try to come to school before 9 o’clock as well.

Hanna learns new things so quickly. She usually pays attention during class, but sometimes she acts like a clown. She remembers most of the new Halloween chants and rhymes we went through during the week.


Leo is very selective of the colors he uses. He works hard for me no matter what he does. He pays attention just like the other kids. But, he forgets to read along with his fingers. He eats lots of veggies without being picky on food. I reminded him to come to school before 9 o’clock.
