Back to School Today!

It was our first day back and I'm glad to see the students again. Today was a slow day but we got some stuff done.

We talked about the book the Spiderwick Chronicles. Most of the students liked it a lot and we are going to read the next one soon. If students haven't finished the book they need to keep on reading it. We will have a test next Thursday about the book. Students need to also study the vocabulary for the book.

Today we wrote about the book and students that didn't finish the writing in class have homework. They need to bring their writing back to school tomorrow.

We have new spelling words and spelling test next Thursday.

We have an easy day tomorrow and then we start a lot of new things next week.

Wdnesday , January 11

We read in class today and studied our spelling words. Not much else. Tomorrow I will give the students their homework over the break.

The Last Week

We're almost finished for the semester. We will spend most of the time in class reading and reviewing spelling and vocabulary. Groups will also perform the drama Chicken Little this week.


Today I read with Omar A., Amelia, Ameed, and Adam.

There is no homework this week.

There will be homework over the break.

Writing and Jokes

Today I read with Rifaat, Ward, Shayma, Maya, Kareem, and Fitian.

We wrote a lot today. The students wrote essay about what they would do if they were a teacher. The students are doing a great job with the writing.

Students did a great job with the jokes today and more students will go tomorrow.

We have a short week but a lot to do.

Today I read with Taleb, Lyana, Shahed, Amelia, Omar, Adam, Beesan, Masoud and Ameed.

We started a new drama today, Chicken Little. The students need to practice it and next week they will perform it in class.

We have a spelling test on Thursday. Only 10 words this week:
closer, everywhere, phone, chicken, writer, carrots, cries, lying, seventeen,
welcome

This week students are telling jokes for storytelling. Student have to tell either one long joke or three short jokes. They can't read their jokes to the class. This is speaking, not reading.

Storytelling tomorrow: Tareq, Mohammed, Fitian, Shyama, Maya, Narmeen, Lilia, and Taleb

Goblins have to finish their reading work from today.
