For Phonics class, we worked on V-v-vest, vegetables, valentine’s cards, and vacuum.

We also learned a new phonics rhyme.

* Veronica’s friends are coming to visit,

* She needs to do some cleaning.

* So she takes her vacuum cleaner out

* And vacuums till the evening.

* Vvvvvvvvvvvvvv

For motor skill class, we practiced how to button up, zip up, and buckle and tighten ribbons on their clothing. These tasks all look very easy for adults, but for them it was difficult. Each kid had two chances to try different tasks. We will practice more in these couple of months.

For art and crafts class, we made “Mr. Sun” paper fans. First, they got two construction papers (one yellow and one orange). Then, the kids had to fold them into fans. Then, they glued the two fans together. Lastly, they glued “Mr. Sun’s” face in the middle.

For story time, we read “Friends”. Pig, Mouse, Rooster, and Cow are good friends. They went on an adventure on a bike…… Finally, hunger hit them. They tried fishing, but their stomachs made loud noises that scared away the fish. Then, they found a cherry tree. They ate, and ate, and ate! After a long day, they needed to find shelter. Where should they stay for the night? They finally realized that “friends always stick together no matter how rough the situation is.”

This week we learned two new rhymes: “Last Laugh” and “Itchy Bitsy Spider”

Individual comments:

Henry speaks more in sentences now. He is able to express himself with sentences such as “Teacher, I’m fast right?”, “I finished my water.”, or “This is mine.” He knows a few more.

Jason cut his hair on Monday, during math class with his scissors. After this occurred, I reminded him about it every day. We don’t cut our hair with scissor in class! If you need a haircut, then go to a hair dresser. We only use scissors for paper in school.

Jae is hilarious. She told me that August isn’t her boyfriend anymore. A boy who lives by grandma’s house is now her new boyfriend. One day she was talking to Jason. She said, “Don’t you know that Terry is my boyfriend?” Terry looked confused. “Am I?”, he asked.

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 likes Henry so much. Once, he even kissed Henry on the cheek when he said goodbye. I thought that that was very sweet. Leetrue is so friendly.

Ellie sometimes misses her mom. At school, she might whine and say, “Mommy… home………” Then, I know she misses her mom. She will outgrow this behavior sooner or later.
