Week 16

I’m looking forward to seeing your all at our Art Exhibition this Friday evening. The all day Armadillo’s had a great deal of fun at the MRT Museum in Beitou on Tuesday. We learned all about what to do in case of emergencies. We have been talking a lot about word order and using WH question words like “what” and “why” at the beginning of sentences. For instance, it is not appropriate to say, “He is who?” I will be home visiting my family for the next two weeks. I’m sure all of the Armadillos will be on their best behavior during my absence.

As we spoke about in our meeting, Lauren is making great progress academically. We will focus on those points we discussed over the next few weeks.

Lily has been doing very good work this week. I appreciate the gifts you sent in this morning. It’s very important that if Lily brings in something for most of the class that there is enough for everyone. She was one short this morning and one boy was left out.

Esther has been doing great work. She has been focused and on task in class.

Sunny has made such a great deal of progress recently. The one thing I would like to see her work on is waiting her turn in class. On occasion she speaks out of turn or while other students are speaking. She did get in a great deal of trouble this morning. She slammed a door closed behind her and knocked another boy in the head. She spent the morning in the office.

Jerry is growing into such a charismatic young man. He brings enthusiasm and a positive attitude to class everyday. I’m happy to see him experimenting with the language we have learned and asking me questions or telling me about his weekend each morning.

Frank needs to put in a bit more effort towards staying on task during class. If he is not completely focused, it is very easy for him to fall behind.

We missed Evie yesterday. I hope she’s feeling better.

Elisa does very good work when she focuses. As we spoke about in our meeting, I’d like to see her stay on task during class.

Tricia’s attitude is a model for all her classmates. Keep it up.

Samson really does need to work on focusing in class. His mind is often up in the clouds.

Carson has been very focused and on task recently. Keep it up!

Henry needs to focus in class. He has not been on task this week. It will be very hard for him to catch up if he falls behind.
