Dear parents,

This week went by quickly. We continued to learn the concepts of tens and ones in math class, and worked on math worksheets on subtractions. Most students got the answers all right! For science, we learnt how animals are alike and different, and for grammar class, we learnt about Irregular plural Nouns. Every student is a quick learner. They did their workbooks on grammar themselves and didn't really need teacher's help. For Tops, we played a game with the meaning of "behind", "next to", and "above", which we had gone over last week. For phonics, we learnt some high-frequency words like, "would", "because", "under", "good", "sure", etc. Because Thanksgiving is approaching, we read a story about it and wrote a few sentences on who we want to thank on this special day. We made Thanksgiving turkey hats. Also, we are going to visit the firemen next week and thank them for saving lives.

For this week,

Devon - He seems to take his work seriously, and he concentrates pretty well.

Hanna - Although most of the time she seems quiet and reserved, when she has a question, she is not shy to ask teachers.

Kyle - He likes to share ideas and thoughts with his classmates, and he enjoys playing with them.

Irvin - He does his work slower this week perhaps because he has a cold; he sleeps well during nap time.

Estella - During playtime, she enjoys playing with her classmates and students from other classes, she likes to help other classmates with their work.

Claire - She told me her birthday was on Wednesday, so everyone in class sang a birthday song for her. She gets along well with her classmates.

Albert - He has been very active and talkative in class. He does his work nicely.

Rain - He is talkative in class. At lunch time, he is often the first one to finish eating.

Have a great weekend!

Teacher Jennifer
