Hi

On Monday this week we finally finished all the stories in the reading book with the final story "Whales". "Whales" was a very informative story about some of the more popular baleen and toothed whales. After reading the story the kids did the accompanying work in the work book. In addition to the workbook. On Wednesday for a follow-up activity we also made posters about the different types of whales. On Thursday in science class we learned about simple and complex machines.

Everyone is doing a very good job. Iris and Irisa made a very creative and informative whale poster. The two of them worked very hard on it, and their effort definitely showed.

Kevin has been doing great in science class. He's always asking very inquisitive and intriguing questions.

Andy has been making a lot of improvements with his writing, his sentences are getting much better and more detailed.

Jessica is doing very well in reading. She seems much more confident and eager to read in class.

Jordan is doing great in all the class subjects. I just wish he would talk up a little more. Sometimes he's so quiet it's hard to hear what he's saying.

Hello

Hello everyone,
This week we read the story " Saving the Everglades " in reading. In addition to reading the story we also learned about using adverbs with more and most in the grammar book. In science we learned about both physical and chemical changes in matter.

Kevin did very well in reading this week. He's been very attentive and has also asked many interesting questions about the reading.

Andy enjoys learning about science very much. He's always asking very challenging questions about the material we're learning about.

Jordan was interested in learning about chemical and physical changes.

Iris is doing very well with all her work!

Irisa was interested in learning about how to make butter on Friday Fun day's science workshop.

Jessica has been trying harder to memorize vocabulary. She's been spending her spare time in class to review new words.
