For Phonics class, we worked on W-w-window, wagon, wood.... We also learned a new phonics rhyme.

• I saw a worm on my window one day.
• And it seemed to be wiggling and wiggling away.
• It wiggled, then stopped, and waved “How do you do?”
• Then as it passed by, it winked at me, too.

For story time, we read “The Magic Apple”. It’s a Jewish fairy tale. Once, there were three sisters. They were pretty, clever, and brave. They also liked to go on adventures. The elder sister bought a magic spyglass, with which you can see things that are far away, even on the other side of the world. The middle sister bought a magic horse that can take you wherever you want to go in a flash. The youngest sister bought a magic apple from a farmer….. One day, the oldest sister saw a very ill prince through her spyglass. They decided to help him out……..With the help from the magic horse, they flew to the kingdom right away. ….The youngest sister reached in her pocket for her handkerchief, but instead she touched the apple. So, she tried feeding the prince a slice of the apple. After the first slice, the prince opened his eyes. After the second piece, his face had more color…….When he finished the last piece of apple, he stood up and cheered….. Then, the youngest sister got married with the prince, and they lived happily life ever after.

For math class, we continued reviewing sequences. We also made “Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches”. First, we took out bread. Second, we spread peanut butter on the bread. Third, we put the sliced banana pieces on the bread. Lastly, we cut the sandwiches in half.

For, art and crafts class. We made cereal necklaces. The kids had to try their best to put as many pieces of cereal through the thread. I told them that they were only allowed to eat “the twins” (two of them stuck together). I looked at them and asked them, “Why are you eating”. They all replied, “Twins!”

This week, we learned two new songs: “Octopus Garden” and “Apple and Banana”

Individual comments:

Henry was a little moody on Monday, when he first came to school. I asked him, “Am I not your good friend? “ Henry nodded his head. Then asked me, “Good friend, right?”

Casper’s new sentence of the week is “My home has….” instead of “We have ….at my house.” We will work on ‘Chinglish’ mistakes.

Jason loves to shout when he has a disagreement with someone. I asked him to face the wall after he shouted 2 times. He needs to remember to control his emotions.

Christine picked tight ribbons during motor skills class. It was difficult for her, but at least she tried hard to manage it. She worked really well all week.

Leetrue has been in “Transformer” mode all week long. During recess, he flips cars upside down just like in “Transformers.” I guess he loves them and the movie.

Dora is unbelievable. She hid under the table and kept eating cereal while we were m

aking necklaces. I had to stop her from eating them over and over again.

Tanya was well behaved this week. She earned her first sticker of this week on Tuesday.

Ellie missed Joyce a lot on Wednesday when she was not there. I comforted her a

nd napped with her on that day.

Jae chose to stay in class to do coloring during recess, instead of playing outside. I agreed with he

r; it has been too hot these past few days.

August likes Jason, but sometimes he’s too sensitive to what Jason says. Yesterday he cried, because Jason told him that he can’t be a transformer like him.
