Hello Everyone,
This week was a busy but fun week for the Panda class. On Monday morning we celebrated Easter by making bunny ears, and in the afternoon we colored Easter eggs. On Tuesday we went to the Taipei Public Library. The kids love reading and I think they especially enjoyed the opportunity to see a wider variety of story books than we have in the classroom. We had intended to go to Daan park afterward for an Easter egg hunt unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative so we had to move the egg hunt inside Tree House.
On Wednesday, with Easter behind us, we continued working on the class calendar we've been working on for the past week. We also took advantage of the nice weather and went to the park for PE class. In math class we finished learning about time and the months of the year. In phonics we started learning about long E ( tea, tree, three, sea, see, etc...)
On Thursday morning we ! took the chapter test for time, days of the week, and months of the year. In the afternoon we read Seven Sillies and did the accompanying book work in the reading workbook. In the second part of the afternoon we did Tops. This week we learned the sentence pattern "Is it a dog!" Yes, it is. No, it isn't.
And finally, to close out the week, on Friday we did ESL and more phonics.

Kyle has put a lot of effort into class recently and his hard work is really beginning to show!

Aston is doing great! He's really matured over the past few weeks. He's much more focused and determined to try harder in class.

Devon is making improvements with his reading. He's been volunteering to read more in class and is trying very hard to practice his reading.

Hank was great this week. He's always well prepared and eager to learn. Way to go, Hank!


Albert and Serena had a lot of fun at the library on Tuesday. All the kids had an opportunity to pick out a book to read, and the two of them enjoyed showing off their reading skills.

Bonnie had fun making bunny ears for Easter.

I'd like to thank Phil's mom and Benson's parents for coming in this week to meet with me. They're both doing an excellent job!

Irene has been very fast finishing her book work in class. ( Maybe a little too fast )She usually finishes before all the other students.

Eason did good this week. He's been attentive and hard at work.
