A BIG THANK YOU to all you parents for coming on time and coming earlier for SEP! Isn't it so fun to see how much your child have grown and how much they have learned! We enjoy them very much in our class. Thank you for your constant support and help!
Thanks for being patient in waiting as we finish up each student/parents session of SEP.
Business: Yolooooo
1. Flu/Fever/Cough ---tis the season of sickness is here. We have been practicing washing our hands and covering our mouth with our elbow when we cough/sneeze. If your child is sick, PLEASE keep them at home. With little kids, once one kid is sick, it spreads like wildfire. Also, we are running low on CLOROX/LYSOL wipes, if you have an extra bottle at home, please if you can so kindly donate one to my classroom, we use that a lot of wipes each day to clean the desks, chairs etc.
2. Numbers with their names---if they can start writing their number in English with their Chinese names, that would be much appreciated, it will make things easier. (their number comes with their names)
3. JOIN the PTA! pretty please! We need more members! Its only $6 a whole YEAR! The PTA does so much for the school! Plus we need have extra bonus this year, where our goal is to get 40 more members and every 10 new members that join, the teachers will do different stunts!
4. Notes from SEP: Remember to practice the proper numeral and letter strokes, ( it was in the back to school night packet), have your child say the strokes as they are writing as this helps with reversals. Also, relax pencil grip, Mrs Christensen taught---pick up the pencil by pinching it with the thumb and pointer finger and let the pencil fall back and let the pencil rest between the thumb and pointer finger and have the third finger support the pencil.
Also, I have mention to some kids to SLOW down doing their work, do NOT rush and do a sloppy/careless job especially in Math. Being First is NOT important, checking their work is much better. However there are some that need to speed up when they are doing their work . I have told you all at SEP, if I didn't mention it, that means your child works at a great speed :) Also, this blog, please refer to it constantly, hopefully it has helped you in many ways, please refer back to the audio recordings often as repetition helps a lot of students.
Agenda for next week ( Nov 18-22th)
1. Chinese-- We will start learning the body unit:
HEAD/HAIR-----EYES/EARS----NOSE/MOUTH----TONGUE/TEETH----
2. Tests on Family sometime next week (never on a Monday)
(please go back to this blog on audio recordings on the pronunciation and review with them)
so these vocabularies :
GRANDFATHER/GRANDMOTHER-----MOTHER/FATHER---OLDER BROTHER/YOUNGER BROTHER---OLDER SISTER/YOUNGER SISTER---ME/YOU/HIM
3. Maths---We will keep working on 1-30, most of the students have no problem writing 1-30, we are currently working on the dots worksheet for counting/number sense. Please practice with them at home on number sense, for example, say random numbers (from 1-30) eg 28, have them pick up or set aside 28 cheerios/ marbles/ beans. That way you can check their counting and number sense, that they are able to form that connection between the number and amount.
*if possible to have them count in Chinese, if they have an older sibling learning Chinese, have them check their counting :)
*we will have a test soon on 1-30 numbers but in a different format, like the dots worksheet.
4. Science, We are still learning about winter, we need more winter items, please no DEAD/LIVE bugs/animals and NO SNOW (frozen or melted) If your child can bring something winter-related, that would be awesome, if you can put the item in a bag with their name, that would be great! If you want the item returned, please write PLEASE RETURN on the bag
5. Health: We are still learning on washing hands correctly, covering mouth and also other good clean habits, like flushing the toilet etc
Have a Great weekend!!!
