Hi everyone,
This week we re-read the story " John Henry" and did the work in the workbook. For a little extra bonus I played a song about John Henry by Bruce Springsteen. I'm pretty sure most of the kids didn't like the song....In science we learned about pollination for plants, and the different parts of a plant for reproduction. On Wednesday the kids had a science test and on Thursday they took a reading test.

Iris really disliked the song I played in class. I was pretty sure the stundents wouldn't like it very much, but I was surprised when she asked if he was actually singing in English.

Kevin did well on his science test.

Kelley needs to be more careful when she takes tests. She missed an entire page of questions on her science test this week.

Ellen always does very well in class. She's did especially well this week.

We missed Andy on Thursday. I hope he's feeling better.

Edward seemed to be the only student who enjoyed listening to the song about John Henry.

Raymond has a very creative mind when he writes short stories. I think with a little effort he could become an excellent writer! His stories are always very interesting and entertaining.

Perry did great in class this week. He's gotten much better at not asking silly questions in class, and has been paying attention much more.
