Visiting the yukult factory was fun for the kids, especially the interactive movie that they were showing, and the free drinks. We had lunch at the nearby park. Leetrue, Tanya, Jae, and Henry all brought the same lunch. They shared candies and snacks after they finished their lunch.

For Phonics class, we worked on R-r-rug, refrigerator, roof, and rooster. We also learned a new phonics rhyme.

*Rrrrr…..it’s cold ,what shall I do?

*Rub my hands,

*Run around and

*Reach out for a hug from you.

*Rrrrrrr…..

For motor skill class, we worked on “Building a House”. Each one of them had to color the windows and the door, and paste them onto the empty house. All of them were able to work on their own except Henry, Tanya, and Dora…they needed some extra help.

For math class, we worked on finding the same beginning sounds such as: watch and wagon, rattle and ring, pencil and pig. We also did two reviews counting worksheets from 1 to 10.

For social studies class this week, we continued the same unit “Jobs and People”. We played sticky ball and ladder games while we were reviewing the flash cards.

For the rest of this semester, I’ve planned to teach them songs from the famous “Raffie” collection. This week we learned two new songs: “On the Way to Grandpa’s House” and the “Hi and Hello Song”

Individual comments:

Jason wants to be a fire fighter when he grows up. Jason tried much harder to do his best during class time, such as coloring or writing.

Tanya needs to try harder at paying attention during class time; otherwise she doesn’t have any clue with what’s going on in class. We worked on how to sit properly this week.

Casper loves to do color combinations when he fills in colors. He chooses bright colors like red and yellow. It really shows a lot of his personality. Wonderfully colorful!

Leetrue tried so hard to write his name on his own this week. He also invited Henry to his house to play.

Christine pushed Dora out of her seat on purpose. I made her apologize and she promised to be a big sister to take care of her.

Henry has been improving his eating habits since last week. He is still one of the last few who finish last, but he doesn’t whine that the food is too much anymore. His hand-to-eye coordination is slowly developing, along with his small muscles technique using scissors.

Dora recognizes the picture of a police man and a hair dresser, as their occupation. She really enjoyed the story we read this week: “Alligator Baby.”

Jae… I was so amazed that Jae was able to sing one of the love songs from the beginning to the end. She wants to be a police lady when she grows up, she said. She also told August that she doesn’t want to marry anyone yet.

Ellie was introduced to the numbers 1 to 10, this week for the first time. She’s able to count from 1 to 3. We’ll work on it.

August brought a love CD to school on Wednesday. He was able to sing half of the lyrics on his favorite track: #3. He asked Jae to marry him!
