Dear parents:

For phonics class this week, I introduced the sound of “G” & “g”, and the related words such as goat, gate, game, goose, and girl.

For math class, I introduced the color white and the shape circle. We also went through objects that are white such as a snowman, snow flakes, clouds, and rabbits. We crossed out the object that was not white, which was a carrot.

For motor skills class, we worked on tracing flower parts from pedals and stems, to leaves. For most of them it was easy, and so they quickly finished tracing and moved on to colorings.

For arts and crafts, we made flower pictures, with paper coffee filters. First, we folded the paper filters in 3 folds. Then, we dipped them in colored water paint. The kids were allowed to pick their own colors for their pedals. Last, we glued pipe cleaners as stems. I also attached the final projects on our wall as decorations.

Individual comments:

Mia mixed water with toothpaste the other day and showed it off. She said “Teacher Angel, I made milk.” I know that kids at this age, they have a wild imagination and are very curious about new things. I reminded her that toothpaste is for you to brush/ clean your teeth. You cannot make milk with it.

Reno is very kind and sweet. He sometimes gets water bottles for his friends after recess time. And then he places them in front of their seats.

Ivy and Reno are singing partners. Every day after we wake up from our nap, Ivy would wake up Reno to sing and dance.

Tanya is in love with her jackets. She hugs them no matter how many times I talk to her. She finally fell asleep on her own on Wednesday.

Dora manners have been up and down. She can be an angel if she tries; if not she can be a naughty girl. I separated her from the others for meal time, because she likes to get up and run around while she is eating.

Henry was late for school many times and looked tired when he came in. Getting enough sleep for kids his age is very important.

Ellie and Henry are so much alike. They both look so tame when I first met them. They can be so wild during play time, while being so attentive during class time.

Madi is picking up so much. She sometimes even tattle tells on the other kids. She doesn’t eat so fast compared with a while ago. She only asks for “Nancy” when we line up to put away our water bottle at 4 p.m.

Sherri is always well behaved at school. I read comments that Mom made for this Monday and Tuesday, and I wasn’t surprised. Young kids have a tendency to pick up negative behaviors from their peers. I reminded them not to do the same things through stories.

Chloe is learning to use a combination of colors while she is coloring nowadays. She used to use one color across a whole page. Now, she slows down and picks different colors.
