Hello Everyone,
This week we were hard at work getting ready for Halloween next week. In Art class we made scary bats, in writing class we wrote stories about what everyone wants to be for Halloween, AND we put the finishing touches on the class decorations. All in all it was another fun week!
In Math class we continued doing addition. The kids are getting very good at adding. Next week we'll begin subtraction, so hopefully the kids will continue to make steady progress.
In Phonics we read a short story and had to answer a few questions based on the reading. We also learned more common words that are frequently used when reading....
In Reading we read "People in Communities" and re-read "The Farmer in the Hat" and "Helping Hands at 4-H ".
In Science class we continued learning about plants and the functions of plant parts. ( ie: what the roots do, what the stem is for, etc..)
In Tops we started unit 2 where we'll be learning about the park. We're learning how to read and spell new park words: sun, cloud, tree, squirrel, butterfly, seesaw, flower, ant, swing. Next week we'll start learning about prepositions along with the new vocabulary from this week.
And finally in Grammar class we learned more about nouns ( people, places, and things ).

Kyle has been doing really well in class. We had a lot of fun on Tuesday (when all the other kids were in Chinese) class making glue ghosts.

Estella is doing great in class. She gets along well with other students in class and is slowly becoming good friends with both Claire and Hanna.

Claire is doing an exceptional job in class. Not only is she an excellent worker, she's also has an excellent attitude and is extremely conscientious of all her classmates.

Hanna is always cooperative and happy in class.

Albert learns new vocabulary quickly and is also very helpful about clean-up work around the room.

Devon is becoming more independent and has shown more interest and enthusiasm for the things we do in class.

Rain has been hard-working and eager to excel in class. He's made excellent progress in math and also has done very well with his writing and phonics!

Irvin has a great sense of humor and also enjoys the stories we read in class.
