Terrific Thursday Hi Parents: Today was a great day! We reviewed the lessons that will be covered on tomorrow’s test, and I was able to identify the areas where the children need a little more practice. I prepared worksheets for them to complete tonight to help reinforce these skills. The test tomorrow will be challenging, so I encouraged the children to carefully read the stories, understand the plot, identify the problem and solution, and review page 44 in the MyView student book. Students should also know: The genre of the story and the meaning of a moral The difference between writing a poem and a haiku In Phonics, students should understand digraphs and trigraphs. In Grammar, they should have an understanding of: Singular and plural nouns Comparative adjectives (adding -er or -ier ) Superlative adjectives (using more when appropriate) Please take the time to focus on the items above as well as the vocabulary words and definitions. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning ...

Wonderful Wednesday; Hi Parents; Today was a quick and productive day for all of us. During math class, the students were able to complete their math books, and we also reviewed some of the areas they have been struggling with. Most of the misunderstandings seem to come from the vocabulary used in the math book. If the concepts were explained in Chinese, there would likely be fewer difficulties. To ensure the students have a clear understanding of the mathematical language used in English, I will continue reviewing the material with them and go over the entire math book again for clarity and confidence. Tonight, the children should focus on their comparative adjective and vocabulary worksheets. They will have a test this Friday, and a review worksheet will be sent home tomorrow. I have also asked the children to review their My View books, as there is important information in the practice books that they should know. Please take some time to review this week’s materials and worksheets...

Tiring Tuesday Hi Parents; Today was a tiring but productive day for both the children and myself. We were able to complete our writing assignment and work through most of the worksheets needed to help the students better understand tonight’s homework. The children were asked not to copy the paragraph from the worksheet’s fill-in-the-blank section. That paragraph is only meant to serve as a short guide for what they should include in their own writing assignment. I would like them to write from the heart and express their true feelings about what they are saying goodbye to. It was wonderful to hear the students using comparative adjectives to talk about how much they have progressed. I’m excited to see their completed worksheets tomorrow! Homework: May 19th Tuesday 星期二 □ 1. MV: Read:The Ant and the Grasshopper pp. 28-41 __ □ 2. Write VW’s # 11 - 20 ...

Mighty Monday Hi Parents: Hopefully you all had a great weekend. Today was a good day in class! We corrected our quiz from last Friday and reviewed the students’ work together. While we did not have any perfect scores this time, I am still very proud of the effort the students showed. Everyone tried their best, and our class average was still an impressive 90%. Great job, A1 students! For homework tonight, the children have been asked to complete the assigned worksheet and pages assigned in the MV Practice Book 1.2. I gave the students time to begin the vocabulary worksheet in class today. The vocabulary writing assignment is our regular Monday homework; however, students do not need to write sentences tonight. I strongly encourage the children to review their definition worksheet at home to help them prepare for Friday’s test. This week’s test will focus on both story comprehension and the definitions of our weekly vocabulary words. Tomorrow, we will begin working on the st...

Tired Thursday: Hi Parents: Today was a fast-paced and productive day in class! We spent time working in our Phonics books and also read our MyView story together. It was especially fun to see some friendly competition between the homerooms. This gave our A1 students a great opportunity to practice and improve their reading fluency in an exciting and encouraging way. It was wonderful to see such healthy competition and enthusiasm for learning. Tonight, the children do not have too much homework because I would like them to focus primarily on this week’s vocabulary words. It would be very beneficial for them to review their vocabulary definition worksheet carefully. Tomorrow, we will begin our final writing assignment of the semester. Students will be reflecting on their first-grade experience by thinking about questions such as: What was first grade like? What were their favorite memories? How could the year have been even better? If possible, please take some time to talk with your ch...

Wonderful Wednesday Hi Parents; Today was a wonderful day in A1! We spent time working in our phonics books and focused on additional phonics practice. It was great to see how much the children have remembered from our previous lessons. The students are doing an amazing job, and I am very proud of their progress! I would also like to clarify an important classroom routine. Recently, I noticed that some information shared at home may not have matched the directions given in class. I believe we now have a better understanding moving forward, and I appreciate your support. At the beginning of most classes, students first complete their communication book writing before we continue with our lesson. However, there are times when we are still working in our practice books near the end of class and may not have enough time to complete the communication book activity. In these situations, I may give students a verbal assignment instead. Before collecting the 1.1 practice books for final correc...
