Dear parents,


For phonics class, I introduced the letter “L”, and the related words including: “L-l-lamb, lamp, lemon, leaf, and lion”. For adults, a capital L and a lower case l are as simple as eating a piece of cake. For the kids it’s so different. The kids are learning the alphabet as images or symbols, rather than as letters.


For math class, I introduced them to the shape of triangle. The triangle is an easy shape for the kids. I asked them to trace triangles on the whiteboard, and then I turned them into party hats and ice cream cones.

For arts and crafts this week, we made “Footprint Ghosts”. This craft got them really excited because this time they printed with their foot instead of their hand.

For social studies this week, we continued the same unit “Food”. We made soup for everyone on Tuesday for lunch. The kids helped cut all the vegetables. We put one carrot, two red tomatoes, three onions, four peppers, and five big potatoes in the big soup. It was hot and we cooked it for over 40 minutes. I also attached a few pictures from that day.


For motor skill class, we worked on the concepts between longer and shorter. They have to distinguish between two objects. They had to circle the shorter objects and color them. Most of the kids got the concept right away.

This week, we learned a few Halloween rhymes and songs. They are “Five Little Pumpkins”, “Four Little Pumpkins”, “Spooky-E-Do” and “If You’re Monster”


Individual comments:

Casper was very naughty this week. He purposely spat water on the table and turned Leetrue’s water bottle upside down on the floor.


Jason likes to provoke August into getting angry or to cry. I reminded him to treat his friends nicely. No one likes to be mistreated amongst their friends.


Christine had an easier time getting up from nap this week. She tries to put on her socks on her own. I’m so proud of her.






Rain had so much fun cutting vegetables the other day. While he was cutting onions, the effects of the onions got into his eyes. He was tearing for a while.

Jae likes to color with multiple colors such as two colored lions or three colored lambs. It shows a similarity with her personality; happy and bright.


Joyce has a tendency to rush through her work. I encouraged her to take her time while she is doing any assignments.

August cares too much about how other people think about him instead of his feelings. He loves to play with Jason or other kids. August sometimes cries if Jason pretends to shoot him with his finger. August and I repeatedly told him “I don’t like this! “ “Cut it out, Jason!” at least once or twice a day. I want August to understand that it is fine to voice out his grievances in a liberal way.


Theresa is a kind young girl. She got tissues for the others when they were crying. She also likes to share family stories during class discussions.


Leetrue often puts his finger or fingers in his mouth lately. I sometimes skip him, purposely during class activities or games. Which prompts him to ask “Teacher, why don’t I have a turn? “ I then reply “I only give big boys or girls a chance; not babies.” He usually nods his head and say “Oh, ok.”
