Have a Happy Honeymoon, Teacher Leanne!!!

Hi, there!

This is T. Angel I am taking over T. Leanne’s class till the 19th of this month. I will make sure kids have lots of fun while they are learning.

We had a busy week while T. Leanne was gone. We started with Halloween craft. They love doing crafts. We spent a total of two hours to finish our “Halloween Pumping Masks”. Look at them! Aren’t they cool?

In Phonics, we finished the letter Mm. The vocabulary words for the letter Mm are – money, mouse, map, mop and milk. Most of them did well learning the new vocabulary words. Mm is more wavy and curvy, so they had somedifficulties.

Science class; we learned a simple diagram for plants. There are roots, the stem, flowers and leaves. They need strong roots to stay up, just like our feet. They also need the stems to grow like our bodies. They need water, air, and sunlight just like us to make their own food.

We worked on our reading activity books together. So, throughout the week, we reviewed ordinal numbers like first, second and third; also left, right, top, middle, and bottom. I gave them many examples on the board, and taught them a few tricks about how to remember left and right… such as I use my left hand to make an “L”; I write with my right hand.

For reading, we read “Can Pig Nap?” We reviewed phonogram –at, -ap, a….such as nap, tap, mat, and lap. They grasped these sounds so well, while we played games..

We also talked about the coming Halloween. They seem better than the younger kids in T. Jocelyn’s class. They like the new rhyme we learned “Five Little Pumpkins “and “The Wicked Witch “song.

Ruby eats well and remembers to drink lots of water. She has good eating habits. She is also a quick learner. She is also very curious about new things.

Aston still spaces out sometimes. Nowadays, he tries to eat by himself but he is very picky with food. If there is sometimes he likes more, he eats it first. He loves to share stories of his brother Dylan. He is also improving his penmanship and other motor skills.

Crystal has a very independent personality. She also likes to compete with other kids to be “Number 1”. She eats well and likes to play with other kids in class. Rochelle loves to participate in class. She has been so amazing since last week. She stopped crying in the mornings and always smiles when she comes to school. This is such a great improvement. She picks up new things fast and repeats well all the time.

Devon surprised me the most! He is so talkative. He now can say words with 3 syllables. He can color as well as others. As far as his motor skills go, he can cut straight line or curved lines now. ]

Claire is cute. When I ask questions she always answers with confidence. She once told me “If you eat seeds from apples, you will need to go to the doctor”

Hanna was a little down when she realized that T. Leanne had gone to Europe. She likes to be the center of attention. She is the queen of this class… everyone follows whatever she does.

Leo improved so much. He raises his hand and waits for his turn to talk. He expresses himself in English all the time. He has some difficulties with the k, g, and j sounds.
