Hi Parents,
I hope everyone is having a nice week. This week in the Panda class we started learning two digit addition in math class ( 12+12+24 ). In reading class we reread the story from last week (A Friend for Little Bear ). On Tuesday we went to Ikea. We've been to many fun places for field trips, but I have never seen the kids as excited as they were at Ikea. They loved running around and trying out the furniture. ( especially the children's section ) And on Tuesday afternoon we made lemonade and had snacks.
Wednesday we started the new story ( Red Shoes ) in reading class, and also worked on phonics and reading comprehension questions in then workbook. In addition to reading, we also worked on Tops by starting a new unit on celebrations ( How old are you? When's your birthday? etc...)
On Thursday morning we practiced handwriting with new phonic words and sentences. In the afternoon we did Tops.
On Friday morning we made bead necklaces in art class, and in the afternoon we learned about putting words into alphabetical order.

Aston has been very well behaved recently. Unfortunately, he's still eating very slowly. He says his stomach hurts, however when he eats food he likes he eats it quickly.

Serena had a lot of fun making necklaces in art class. Serena spent a long time making a pretty pattern, and she was very proud how well it turned out.

Claire has been making a lot of progress with her reading. She's becoming a very good reader!

Bonnie and Albert had a lot of fun at Ikea this past Tuesday. The two of them enjoyed running to each chair and couch and then jump on them and comment on how comfortable they felt.

Hank did very well learning to put words in to alphabetical order. He learned it very quickly!

Devon did very well in math class this week.

Kyle did really great this week. He was very well behaved and eager to learn!

Benson was a little quiet this week. I hope he tries to talk a litlte more next week.

Irene did very good this week.

Phil has really made me proud with how much he's been talking recenlty. He's become very vocal and eager to communicate in class.

Eason has been behaving much better in class recently. His class work has also improved a lot as well. He's really shown tremendous progress!
