Dear Parents,
This week was our last week of class for the semester so that can mean only one thing, TESTS! This week the students took reading, science, and vocabulary tests. They will bring home their test books and workbooks that they have used through the school year.
The reading test workbooks are the same ones used in American classes so they are more challenging for non-native students. 90% is about the highest that students at this grade level usually get so that's why some of the scores may seem lower that expected.
Today for Fun Day we will go do one of the kids' favorite activities, Laser Tag. Last week at roller blading was lots of fun. The students shouldn't fall down as much for this activity.
I've had a great time teaching and getting to know you child. It's been a joy to see them learn and grow through the year and I look forward to seeing them develop their personality more in the future. Have a wonderful, fun, and safe summer! I hope your child will find fun and rewarding ways to continue practicing English throughout the summer.
All the best,
Teacher Andy

Skating
Dear Parents,
The semester is winding down here for the Egyptian class. We have been trying to finish our last few lessons and stories before our test week next week.
We read a story about plants that are in danger. The students learned plants become endangered because the land gets cleared and people pick them. They also learned that there are conservation groups that help keep these plants and flowers from becoming extinct.
In science the students learned about magnets! They got to use magnets to see which objects are attracted to magnets and which are not.
The students had lots of new vocabulary words this week. Instead of having a test this week, we will take one on Monday! Also next week we will take our year-end tests in science, reading, as well as ALL the vocabulary words they have been given this semester (weeks 1 - 21). Please make sure your child studies for this!
Today we will go roller skating for Fun Day! Many kids enjoy doing this so I hope they have a wonderful time today!
Have a wonderful weekend!
All the best,
Teacher Andy
P.S. Progress reports will go home with students next week.
