Dear parents,

For phonics class, we worked on C-c- car, carrot, corn, cake, cup and counter. We also learned a new rhyme as follows:
*What’s that creeping and crawling to me?
*What’s that coming with a great big smile?
*It’s not a crab or a cat or a cow.
*It’s a c...c…c...crocodile!

For math class, we worked on “left to right”. The kids had to draw lines from the left object to the right object; they also had to color the left hand or the flower on the right.

For social studies class this week, we continued the same topic “clothing”. We played a “what are you wearing game?” The kids had to try to pick what they were wearing from all the flash cards. By Wednesday, they had to try to tell me what they were wearing that day.

For motor skills class this week, we did something new. We played some throwing games. Young children need to develop both their large and small muscles. “Money toss” was fun for them. After setting out plastic containers on the floor, I had them stand back on the line and attempt to toss the coins into the container.

For arts and crafts class, we made “Stain Glass Fish Craft”. First, we cut out the fish out of construction paper. Then, we cut out uneven shapes of different colors of glassy paper. Last, we stuck glassy paper onto the fish from the edge of the paper (we worked from inside to outside).


Individual comments:

Casper got fussy a few times when I told him that he wouldn’t have time for play time. He said “Bad, bad, Teacher Angel.” I talked to him afterwards and told him that wasn’t nice. In fact, it was rude to say that to an adult or a teacher. He apologized to me afterwards.

Dora improved so much this week. Dora and I have bonded more this week. She isn’t used to working with a group of people yet. She is learning not to be bossy, not to hit, and not to grab other people’s belongings.

Leetrue was playing a pee-pee fighting game with Jason and August. His pee flew across to August’s pants. I punished him by making him eat lunch by himself.

Jae got a little frustrated when we were working on the arts and crafts. She kept saying “Teacher, help me; I can’t do it”. I encouraged her to glue her glassy paper on the edge of the paper. The moment she finished, she was so happy and she showed off her fish to her friends.

Christine was bothered by Dora this week. She couldn’t understand why Dora pinches her or touches her water bottle. I reminded her that she is a big girl; Dora is still young.

Erin was sick for the last few days. Since she returned to school, she has had a great big smile on her face all the time. Her listening skills got so much better compared with the beginning of the month. She is able to express herself in some English phrases on her own.

August was so upbeat this week. He was able to finish his tasks on time and even faster than the other kids. But, he rushed through at some points.


Jason was spacing out and was sometimes very lazy when it came to work such as coloring and writing this week. I told him if he doesn’t try harder he will become a couch potato. He remembered that well and repeated it often.

Theresa got herself into trouble a few times this week during nap time. She was either playing or talking with her friends when she was not supposed to.
