 Talkative Thursday; Hi Parents My goodness, our children were so talkative today. Everybody wanted to speak or had something to share with everyone. It was a fun day.  In class the students prepared for tomorrow's Test. We did a test review worksheet, corrected it, made the corrections and then I sent it home with the children to study for the test tomorrow. As long as they have a grasp on the material on the worksheet, the test should be easy. I'm confident the children will do well. They KNOW the material. If they have mistakes it'll be carelessness.

Wonderful Wednesday: Hi Parents: Today we had a wonderful day reviewing our lessons. We completed most of our unit in the My View book and revisited the two stories we have been studying. The students did a great job! As we are getting closer to the upcoming exams, I will be sending home worksheets for extra practice. These will help your child feel more confident and prepared. Please note that tonight’s worksheets are review worksheets that students have already completed in class . Some students made mistakes the first time, so this is a great opportunity for them to practice again, learn from their errors, and improve their understanding. For tonight’s homework: I have sent home a listening practice worksheet. Please use the answer key (Line group) to read each word aloud to your child. Say each word two times (2x) only. This will help simulate real test conditions. Please do not repeat the words more than twice Please do not change the order of the words Encoura...

 Terrific Tuesday Hi Parents: Today was a day full of reviewing the My View 1.3. The students have their books to continue their review at home and also complete any miss pages which were incomplete. I went over the pages which was where commom mistakes were made.  I believe the students are ready for their Final Exams. Like I said during our Mid-Term Exams; MY A1 students will do well. NO need to over study. I will be sending home a listening study worksheet tomorrow. Please practice dictation with your child (you speak and they write what they hear).  In the upcoming week I'll also create a study worksheet for the written exam.  Next week the children will have their Listening exam on Wednesday  6/10 and begin Oral testing on Thursday 6/11 and Friday 6/12. I believe the children are very ready for this upcoming Exams.  HOMEWORK: June 2nd  Tuesday 星期二 6/2 □ 1. MV : “The Clever Monkey” pp. 70-93      □ 2. Wr...

 Magic Monday: Today was a magical day for many of the children.  Our QUIZ scores were great! With fourteen 100%'s, fifteen 99-90's two 89-80's and one 79-70"s. Our class average a whopping 96%. I'm very proud of the students effort ande dillegence to do well on the tests.  Our studies today was more review and Phonics lessons. We completed a worksheet in class with a focus on suffix - ly. Actually the students are learning how to change an adjective to an adverb. very grammar based. We then went into our Oxford Phonics 3 workbooks and did some Long O and U practices in our books. They have one more unit in the book and it's finished.  Tonight, I would highly encourage the children to review ALL vocabularies from week 12-16, just refresh their memories for some vocabularies which are not frequently used or was not in another story. They DON'T need to memorize all the words, however being able to recognize them is very important. The PPT's which were...

Freaky Friday Hi Parents; What a change from the recent hot weather to this morning’s pouring rain — it truly felt like a “Freaky Friday” kind of day! Today, the students completed their quiz, and many of them felt confident about their work. I will begin correcting the tests   soon, and we will see the results after that. Regardless of their scores, I am very proud of the effort the children showed. They worked hard and did their best. We are almost finished with this year’s semester curriculum. The students have their Practice Books 1 and 2 to review and make corrections in during their free time this weekend. I have also checked their books as part of the preparation for the final exams. Over the next few weeks, we will continue reviewing and reinforcing the lessons taught throughout the school year. Our goal is to help the children feel confident and develop a strong understanding of everything they have learned. Thank you for your continued support at home! Homework: M...

 Tiring Thursday Hi Parents; Yes, with this heat, everyone is feeling hot and tired. The humidity is making many students feel more lethargic than usual, and the children are becoming tired more quickly throughout the day. They are also drinking much more water to stay hydrated. Sports drinks are recommended to help students replenish electrolytes and stay hydrated in this weather. Today in class, we completed and corrected the quiz review worksheet together. This worksheet should now be used at home to help your child study for tomorrow’s quiz. Students also have until tomorrow to check over their MyView 1.3 workbook pages 14–95. Please make sure all pages are completed. If your child has questions about any workbook directions, please have them FOLD the page, and I will review and explain it with them before sending it back home for corrections or completion.
