你好! ( pronounced as Knee How) Parents!
This week went by quick, 1st term is almost up! Your kids are learning sooo much each day! They have taught me many qualities :)
Business....Please NOTE:
1. RECESS----We still have some kids coming in late, please help me emphasize this at home. During recess, the kids have to listen to the bell and watch for the ground duty sign, when their bell rings, the ground duty will put a red sign with a black letter K, that means all kindergarten will line up. I also tell them to watch their class, if they suddenly see NONE of their classmates in the play area, that means it is time to line up.
2. LOST ITEMS: Everyday in the classroom, there are items left behind, boots, shoes, water bottles, jackets, even school bag, etc. I will put them in the lost and found box by the custodian office.
3. LINING UP-- There have been some issues, while the kids are lining up, they tend to SHOVE and PUSH resulting in injury or the other kids falling. I told them if other kids took their spot, let them, and move to another spot.
4. KEEPING HANDS TO THEMSELVES--- Sometimes the students get a little active or too excited that they start hitting, pushing, slapping etc others, I don't they don't hit intentionally! I always tell them ( on a daily basics as a class) that keeping their hands to themselves is great and being kind.
*If someone purposely hit them or bully them, it is also important
NOT TO HIT OR BULLY BACK but to find a teacher, staff or adult to report to immediately
5. TEST FOR CHINESE---WAS so GREAT! Almost every child got perfect scores or only one mistake, there were only a little amount of students that got more than 2 mistakes. THANK YOU for your hard work in revising with them at home.
6. TEST FOR MATHS---WENT REALLY WELL! LESS and LESS Reversals and NEATER and NICER handwriting. Most kids did really well, only a small handful still need the extra help.
Thanks for practicing with them at home.
Parental support is important to me. Thank you! You all are great, you know your child best on whether they need extra help:)
Agenda for OCT 28---NOV 1, 2013
1. Chinese---We are still learning about opposites:
HOT/COLD---FRONT/BACK---LONG/SHORT (length wise)---HEAVY/LIGHT
Stay tuned for the audio recordings
* there are some confusion with up and down, up is shang and down is xia (which sounds alittle similar) so I taught them hand motions with it and for the word up, to emphasize SHANG (which is a little higher pitch) xia which is down is lower pitch ( this helped many students and they are able to remember better)
* also, for the word small Xiǎo and for a few/less Shǎo....they sound kinda of the same, so I taught them hand motions to go along with that so they will not be confused.
*also for the long and short vocabulary this is for length wise, for example, long and short stick. Because the next next week we would learn tall and short ( that is height wise) like tall and short dog
so hopefully the kids will not get confused ( I will teach them hand motions with that)
2. MATHS----Yay! Less and less reversals, I know there are still some struggles with the number 6,8 and 9. We will start 21-30! which we will write 1-30. Also, we will count items in the ten frames.
Keep practicing with them the number search at home to look for different numbers from 1-100.
3. Science, We will still learn about Fall and clothes worn during fall. We might start working on our fall tree.
4. Health--We will be learning about good hygiene practices. How to wash hands properly, how to cover your mouth when you cough etc.
5. FRIDAY ---NOV 1...No SCHOOL!
ENJOY a 3 day weekend!
Thanks for all you do! Thanks for coming to help in the classroom or at home.
Have a super weekend!
