I hope you all enjoyed the performance on Wednesday. We had such a great time putting it together with the kids. I was so proud of my class for remembering theor lines so well and really giving an adorable performance. I know they are all very proud of themselves and excited to be graduating. It's a nice change of pace to get back to the regular scedule and curriculum.

This Thursday my class got a chance to get creative as we put together a make believe solar system. We designed our own planets and aliens and then wrote stories about the aliens we invented. This excercise provided a good chance to practice grammer and sentence structure as well as an opportunity to excersise our creativity, which I feel is very important skill to posess. As Einstein said: "Imagination is as important as knowledge."

On Friday we reviewed the semester and the students made corrections in their workbooks.

Esther has a lot of energy and she is a very enthusiastic student. She was very excited about the performance and she remained focused through the whole thing. I am very proud of her and I think she is definitely ready for grade 1.

Lily is very sharp and loves to write. I can see the signs of a great author in her. She is very creative and her sentence structure is impressive, especially for a 6 year old! I can't wait to see what she accomplishes!

Lauren has been studious and helpful this week. She took the performance very seriously and gave it her full attention. I was impressed with her commitment to it and the way she took charge during the performance. Good job Lauren!

Sunny is a very intelligent and soft spoken girl. She has a very unique way of looking at life. She kept a smile on her face even when things became hectic during the show and she followed the stage directions and took pride in her performance.

Frank is a serious boy who has many great insights. The other day when some students were arguing over an erasure Frank said: "It's okay, it's just an erasure." I was impressed with his ability to put things into perspective, something that is often difficult for children so young.

Jerry always brings laughter to the classroom. I was impressed how hard he worked on the performance. He had a lot of lines and managed to remember them all even under the pressure of performing for family and friends. He's a very bright boy. Way to go Jerry!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!! See you back here on Monday.
