Tremendous Thursday Hi Parents: This was a few quick days this week as we lost two of our English classes because of outings. It's all good as our children are resilient.  They were quick to grasp the lesson; which I found to be quite amazing. We had a discussion regarding the lessons on paragraph writing which we are presently working on, this stirred up a lot of questions, statements and just overall conversation in English which was quite fun. I appreciate the children's willingness to speak up and ask questions. The children are getting much better at stating their feelings or concerns in class. I am very happy with the steady progression I can see in most of the children. Of course I still have a few SHY students who won't volunteer, but will respond when called upon. I believe they will come around as no one is left out of a discussion.  I also let the child'ren know that our Ms. Dee Dollar shopping will be held on April 8th .  Due to so many activities happening ...

 Terrific Tuesday: Hi Parents; Today was a really busy day as the children had to do a lot of work. I asked the children to do more pages in our MV practice book and sent homework for the next two days. The children are prepared for the assignments. We reviewed all the lessons I expect them to complete before Thursday. I asked the children to make sure everyone understood the work needed to be done.  Also Sensay is supposedly ok now. I hope everyone can try to record again as I will begin the scores for my spreadsheet after the long weekend.  Were off campus for our Experience class field trip. Please be sure your child has enough water to stay hydrated, and enough food to keep them till we get back to campus. Snacks are welcome! IMPORTANT NOTICE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD'S COMMUNICATION BOOKS TOMORROW!   I'll write another Blog on Thursday Homework for March 25 &26 ~ Tuesday 星期二 □ 1. MV:  Little Ducks    ...

 Merry Monday; Hello Parents: Well today was a great day in our class. I taught my class, than the class taught me! I'm very grateful to my students who actually explained to me what I was doing wrong on Sensay. Oh my goodness, it was a very informative class. I appreciate that the students were patient and totally understanding on what  Sensay is all about as they have been using it for a while now. So the mistakes I had made when posting the assignments were totally unknown to me. I thought I had understood the directive when it was explained to me but aparently I had'nt really understood the way to post it correctly. I have been guided by the children and It looks like it's been resolved. I'd appreciate it if you wold please check and let me know if there are still any issues. Thank you for being so patient with me as I work out the glitches of this new system.  IMPORTANT📢 Announcement: Class Average for 3/20 Test was: 93% Good work A1 students. I'm sure we will...

 Frazzled Friday Hello Parents: Happy Friday, hopefully you will have a relaxing weekend.  To address the Sensay issue, I have spoken with the administration. It appears that those of you who are unable to see the posts may need to log out and then log back in to reset the program. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please note that this issue has not affected everyone, as many students have reported no problems with Sensay. This tool is designed to help students develop greater fluency in speaking. It will be assessed as a participation grade, which will appear on the report card and count as a percentage. Please encourage your child to give it a try as frequently as possible to enhance fluency in speaking. Homework: March 20th  □ 1.
