A New Semester

Hi everyone,
This week has been a quiet week at Tree House. The past semester went very well. All the kids had worked very hard over the past few months, and I think the months ahead will be just as productive. I'm really looking forward to seeing the kids progress, and think they should all excel this semester.

This week we reviewed addition and subtraction in math class. In phonics class we continued learning phonic blend sounds. In reading we re-read some stories from last semester, and finally in science class we talked about rockets and outer space. On Wednesday we went to the park and launched the rocket we made in class. It was a fun trip. Unfortunately the rocket didn't get off the ground very far.

Happy birthday to Bonnie. We had a nice birthday celebration for her on Thursday. If you see her this month, please wish her a happy birthday.

Welcome back Serena. We missed you at the beginning of the week.

Devon did very well in phonics class. He's starting to put blend sounds together, and has made tremendous progress!

Kyle was very well behaved this week. He's also been doing great in math class. His done especially well in addition and subtraction.

Aston has had a lot of fun learning about space and rockets in science class.

Albert has fallen far behind in math class. He has trouble understanding the difference between when to add or subtract. Even with assistance he still struggles to get the correct answers. I'm very worried that the class time he has missed has greatly effected his learning.
