Rosa and Blanca

Dear Parents and Students,

  Welcome to week 16! The students had some review this weekend and I hope they were able to complete it. Anansi was quite challenging for some of our students and I hope that they will pay more attention in class this week.

  Word recognition is not a problem for most of our students, however, a few have a problem in that they still expect me to give them the answers for the reading comprehension. This is a skill that they should have acquired by now. We’ll work on it in the next few weeks.
  
  Parents,please note that some tools for school, like pencils that look like toy cars, are a distraction for your child. Keep the toys at home!

New Story

  This week we start a new story called Rosa and Blanca. The story is about two sisters who care about each other very much. It is a realistic fiction story which means that it could happen in real life.

   Vocabulary
  Yes, we are stepping up our game and covering the vocabulary from weeks 13 and 14! This week is a long one due to the Saturday classes and next week is a short one, due to the Dragon Boat Festival. So, we will be merging the two.

  Please note that these words are from the story and the students should be familiar with them by the end of the week as the daily homework includes reading the story. I will do my part and I hope that you will do yours by listening to them read every night.
