Dear parents,

We started this week with reading the story "Marble Champ", about a girl who cannot play sports well, but she tried hard and created a sport of her own, she played with marbles, competed in a game, and she won the championship. We picked out some new vocabularies that students didn't know, such as, "trophy", "accurate", "referee",
"recital", "opponent", "previous", etc. And we made sentences with these words. We also worked on the workbooks. Then for Science, we went over "Interactions in an Ecosystem", and the meanings of some related scientific terms, such as,"ecosystem",
"abiotic factor", "biotic factor", "population", "community", "ecology", "habitat",
"niche", we also continued to work on the workbooks and made posters regarding "Ecosystem".

For Funday, we went to see a movie, "My sister's keeper". It is a touching movie, hope everyone enjoyed it.

This week,

Ellen, Edward, Andy, and Iris worked together on the Ecosystem poster, they cooperated very well.

Jessica, Kevin, Raymond, and Perry worked in a group to make the poster. Although they had little arguements, they were able to do the task well.

Have a great weekend!

Teacher Jennifer
