Fast and Short, but Fun!

Dear Parents and Students,

It has been a fast, short week.  I hope all of you had fun with family and friends on Monday and enjoyed Moon Festival.

Dates to remember for the upcoming week:

Tuesday, September 20:  Math Test (Chapter 1 & 2)

Thursday, September 22:  Oral Presentation ~ Show us how you…

Students, please keep the following in mind when preparing for the oral presentation:  You should focus on giving the class clear directions on how to make something or how to do something.   It could be how to make a sandwich, how to make something artistic, how to make a card, how to play a game, etc.  Presentations can include cue cards that you can refer to if you forget your directions.  Please remember that you should not be reading the directions directly from the cue cards.       When choosing a topic, you should keep in mind that you need to demonstrate the actions as you give directions.   Props are therefore a necessity.  Also remember to speak clearly and audibly.

Curriculum Plan for Week 4:

Math:  We will start with Chapter 3, which is about money.  We will finish the first four lessons of this chapter.  So students, do your homework daily! And REVIEW!

Social Studies:  We will finish Chapter 2 and also do the first lesson of Chapter 3. 

English:  We started with Unit 2 this week and will continue with it in Week 4.  The spelling list for Week 4 will also be based on plural nouns

Reading:  We are nearly finished with activities based on our second adventure story.  Next week we will read our third one named The Lost and Found.  Reading activities on this story will also be done and assigned for homework.

It was a pleasure for me to meet some of the parents on Thursday evening.  I am looking forward to meeting parents who were unable to attend our Parents’ Introductory Evening. I am excited about working together with you all.  

Our Student of the Week award goes to Annie Chen.  Annie got full scores in all tests assigned for Week 3!  Congratulations, Annie!  Your hard work is definitely paying off!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
