July 26

Hi everyone,
It's hard to believe it's almost July, and graduation is only a few weeks away. I'm proud of all the student's growth and achievements over the past year and a half... Anyway, this week we studied numbers 1-100 as well as greater than, less than, and equals to. So far we've finished almost 300 pages in the math book, and with any luck, we'll be able to finish the book by the end of the semester. In reading we read the story " The Story of Blue Bird ", and in phonics class we started learning the phonics sounds for Y ( ya, i, e ) ya ( yellow ), i ( sky ) e ( baby ). In Tops we're learning about celebrations, and finally when we haven't been studying in class, we've been busy preparing for the graduation show on July 15th.

Aston is doing very well. He's been paying attention more, and seems to be more focused. He's also been eating much faster! Great job, Aston!!!

Albert is doing very good. He's making steady improvements in math as well.

Kyle has been working hard this week.

Devon is doing great with the graduation show.

Hank has gotten very fast with his class work. Not only is he a speedy worker, but more importantly he's always correct!

Serena is doing a very good job with the graduation show. We're working on making her more lion like and mean....She's just too sweet and nice.

Bonnie has all her lines remembered for the play. Way to go, Bonnie!

Claire has become a very good student. She's a very good reader and is also very quick in math class.
