This week we said goodbye to Halloween and hello to Thanksgiving. On Monday, Teacher Connie's class joined us and we read a new story about A Japanese American WWII Camp, we would not have read that story this week so we are a little bit ahead with our reading, but we need next week to catch up with our Vocabulary words.

I taught the class about "Present Continuous" and we practiced making sentences and questions in this tense. So the homework this week will help refresh their memories.

Ben has been writing sentences in his work lately that don't make much sense. I understand what he is trying to say, but Ben needs to think twice about the sentences he is trying to make and re-read them after they are done to make sure they make sense.

Sean is a bright student and is a great reader. He needs to control his excitement in class though.

We are all glad to see that Harrison is well and are happy to have him back in class.

Jordan does well and reads nicely. I'm pleased with his progress and wish him luck in his competition.

Joe needs to put more care into his work. His writing is too messy and when he hands in his homework, it seems that he is more interested in getting it done quickly then getting it done properly.

Ashley is a good reader, but in class, she doesn't read as well as I know she can. She reads robotically. Perhaps she is embarrassed to show the others how good she can do.

Richard is doing very well and quickly understands the new grammar lessons.
