Blue, Red and Green

These were the colors of the day, after our backpack lesson.

We had a busy morning. Many children returned from holidays. Vivian and Gary are still with us from Snow White class, and we hope they continue to enjoy the move from the bilingual class to the all English class. I know it's not easy, but we will help all the student who want to stay in our class. Vivian is coping well, but Gary had an unhappy day. Maybe he was just pining for his former classmates. He became quite happy when he forgot why he was sad, but he seemed to remember after lunch. You'll make new friends soon. Talking about making new friends, I talked about Cherry playing with the girls last Friday, and our other new comer, Johnny, seems to be getting on well with many of the boys. During P.E. class he was playing well with Brian and Nado and many of the others.

It was Monday, and the end of holidays for some, so we had a long discussion at the beginning of class, it made us a little late for our music class. Sorry Teacher Hong. Some children talked their weekend and others talked about their holidays. Benson and Owen brought things for "Show-and-Tell." Owen brought leaflets from the places he visited when he toured Taiwan. He told me about the doll house museum. He especially liked the English Castle because there were people there that could shoot things. Benson brought some toys from home and that got us talking about our favorite cartoon characters. The boys talked about Ben 10 aliens and the girls talked about Hello Kitty, Melody, Dora, Cinnamorroll and Barbie. Some of these have links to printables if you would like to give your children something to color-in. To find more, jsut google "printables." Nana and Emily are the most talkative of the girls and Richard, Owen, Benson, Yoyo, Sean and Johnny are the most talkative of the boys. Everyone enjoyed their music class and then we did our bckpack book. We practiced drawing one color and had to choose between red, blue and green. Many children drew many pictures, althought the girls, especially Nana and Cherry drew many pictures. Blue was the most popular color.

After lunch we had P.E. class, everyone, except Gary, enjoyed the class, even though it was very hot. We came back and did some writing in our writing book. This is easier for some than for others, but I am sure in time we will all get it. Everyone is making some progress at least.

some of the parents are concerned that their child may be more advanced than the rest of the class. It is rare for someone to be better than the others at everything, and there is enough variety so that even the best students still have a lot to learn.

Please feel free to ask and questions or pass on any suggestions at any time.
