June 5

Hi Everyone,
This week we're fortunate to have an extra day of class tomorrow ( Saturday ). So far this week we've been keeping busy with all our class work. On Monday we began learning about counting in math class with ones and tens. ( 45 is 4 tens = 40, 5 ones = 5 ). In phonics class we're learning about beginning blend sounds ( cl, pl, bl, gl, sw, sp, sk, sl, sn, st ) On Tuesday morning the kids were all given physicals. Luckily everyone was healthy and in great shape. In the afternoon we practiced writing sentences and worked on improving writing more neatly. On Wednesday morning we continued learning about ones and tens in math class. In reading class we started reading the story "A Friend for Little Bear" and followed up with comprehension questions based on the reading.On Thursday we did more phonics work. And finally on Friday we made aluminum foil crown hats and watches in art class, and in the afternoon we did work in the Tops book. ( Does he/she have a ______? Yes, he/she does. No, he/she doesn't.

Devon has been very good this week. He was very happy to show everyone his two books for show and tell on Friday.

Albert has been doing very well in reading and phonics, but he's been having trouble with math class. He's still struggling to understand the concepts behind ones and tens.

Kyle has also been doing very well. He's made great progress in reading recently.

Serena seems eager to rehearse for this years graduation play. She's asked me a few times on Friday when we will begin practicing for it.
