After weeks of loud noises and moving around tables and books, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Our Alien class has moved into our new classroom as part of the school's total makeover. We hope this will help make Tree House a more enjoyable learning environment for the students. Some of the students helped moved books and chairs to the new classroom and are excited to be in there.
This week we did lots of science! They have just finished learning about habitats so I showed them a wonderful educational video made by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) called "Planet Earth". The video is amazing and gives closer looks into the plants and animals that live in different habitats. Students who have been performing well in class and with vocabulary got to spend 2 classes watching this while others who have not been so good had to work more on vocabulary.
We also studied past tense verbs in grammar.
HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND:
1) Student Journal- We read "Insect or Arachnid" in class together. Students are to read the book to parents, then answer the questions in their Student Journal in complete sentences, and draw a creative picture from the story.
2) Vocabulary- Students were given new words for Week 20. They are to write them in their vocabulary book.
3)Progress Reports- These were given to the students to take home and show their parents. Please sign your name and write any comments or feedback you would like to share. This is a great opportunity for us to all help the Aliens have a better learning experience here at Tree House. Have the students bring these back to me on Monday.
ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE ON MONDAY!
For Fun Day we will go to a night market. The weather is much warmer than earlier this week and I hope the students enjoy it.
Have a great weekend and all the best,
Teacher Andy
