April 30th

Hi Everyone,
This week has gone by pretty fast. We've had a busy week. On Monday we started talking about number order in math class ( example: 16 comes before 17 and 50 comes after 49 ) we also reviewed counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. In the afternoon we studied Tops. We're still discussing pets and other animals, but this week we began studying the sentences " Is it a ____? Yes, it is. No, it isn't. " As well as " Do you have a ____?" " Yes, I do." "No, I don't".
On Tuesday we had a lot of fun going to the movie theater to watch the movie " Madagascar 2". In the afternoon we practiced reading, and reviewed phonics.
On Wednesday we did more of the same in math class, and in the afternoon we reviewed long vowel sounds in phonics class. We also started reading the story " You Can't Smell a Flower with Your Ear" a very informative story about the five senses ( hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste).
On Thursday most of the kids had Chinese class in the morning so Kyle, Hank, Aston and myself played Kyles game he brought to school for a short while and then reviewed numbers and counting from 1-100.

Kyle is doing very well! He's learned counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's very quickly and really seems to enjoy counting.

Aston is doing very well in class, however he's been behaving badly during nap time. He's been in trouble for three days now for running around the classroom when he should have been sleeping instead. I hope he can try to sleep better next week.

Devon has been very slow eating lunch this week. It's taken him almost an hour each day this week to finish eating.

Hank is doing great! He's adjusted very well to class and is constantly making improvements. Way to go, Hank!

Albert had fun watching the movie on Tuesday. He had a great time talking about it with Aston and Devon.

I hope Bonnie is feeling better. We missed he on Tuesday when we went to the movies.

Serena is doing an excellent job in math class!

Irene has been very helpful in class this week. She's been doing a great job helping the other kids when they need help.

Phil has been talking a lot more in class. It's good to see him more confident and willing to talk during class.

Benson is making a lot of improvements in both his reading and phonics.

Eason has been behaving much better. He's been more aware of his behavior and has worked harder to behave in class.
