Happy Moon Festival Weekend

Dear parents:

For phonics class this week, I introduced the sound of “F” & “f”, and the related words such as fish, fan, fire, feet, and farm.

For math class, I introduced the color gray. We also went through objects that are gray such as an elephant, nails, squirrels, and mice. We crossed out the object that was not gray, which was an apple.


For social studies, we covered “In my Neighborhood”. We talked about different homes. Some kids live in high buildings with an elevator. However, others live in lower buildings.
We also talked about businesses in our neighborhood such as schools, hair salons, pharmacies, supermarkets, shoe repair shops, and post offices.

For motor skills class, we worked on shoe lacing on the boards. Each animal board has many holes. The kids had to try on theirs, and do the lacing on their own. This exercise helped them enhance their small muscles development.



I’m sorry about mixing up the date last week; I thought last weekend was the Moon Festival weekend... I wish that you and your family members have a great Moon Festival Day.

Individual comments:

Reno improved wonderfully on his emotions in the morning. He bragged in front of the others, by telling them that he didn’t cry this morning.

Tanya purposely disobeyed the teachers during nap time on Wednesday. She disturbed the others by making noises and playing.

Dora was actually well behaved this week. I was surprised that she got 3 stamps two days in a row this week, since we started the “passports” on Monday.

Chloe felt odd when I asked her to pretend to buy bandages from my pharmacy in our community.

Henry thought it was funny when I asked him to be my customer in my hair salon. He liked the hair drying and the massage from me.

Ellie’s appetite has increased recently. She asks for a 2nd bowl quite often. Sometimes, she even asks for a 3 rd bowl!

Ivy is hilarious. One day during lunch, she told me that “Ivy isn’t a grandma.” I looked at her and said, “Good job, Ivy!”

Madi is able to say a few new sentences this week such as “Teacher, put my water bottle away’, “Teacher, look”, and “Teacher, I’m done!”

Mia wanted to eat big bowl of food since Monday this week. She is able to finish her lunch on time, if she doesn’t pay attention to the others or plays with her things.

Sherri tried harder to finish her tasks on time this week. Sometimes she gets distracted easily when she sees the others go out to have play time. I think she is as capable as the others.
