This week we all got to go to the Pixar museum for a field trip. My students were full of questions and they really enjoyed the displays and short films. In science class we learned about our 5 senses (touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing) and all of the ways we use our senses to identify the world around us. In math class we practiced writing our numbers and started learning about math symbols such as "plus" "minus" and "equals." We also did some addition picture problems as a class and your children got the hang of it quite quickly. I was impresed with their abilities. In art class we worked on painting with straws. I asked the children to express themselves through the selection of colours. Again, I was impressed with their care and attention to detail and the pictures all turned out great. Unfortunatly, some of the children got paint on themselves while they were leaning over their art work.






Rain is working hard on his focus issues and I feel that he is trying very hard. Sometimes he needs to be reminded, but after a quick reminder he goes back to work. I have seen an improvement since I spoke to him. We are working on his eating habits at home and he has promised teacher Paul and I that he will eat faster at dinner time.


Ethan has alot of energy. Sometimes he finds it difficult to follow instructions I think because he is always asking what comes next. We are working on this and I think we are making progress. I was impressed with him in math class today.


Melissa sometimes talks when I ask her to listen. I know she is very curious and likes to ask questions and I think she gets too excited and forgets to keep her voice down. She has been having some behavioural problems lately in regards to other students. She seems to argue with the other kids quite a bit, when I ask her about it she often smiles at me instead of answering. I don't know if maybe she is just nervous. I will continue to work on this with her.



I have not seen alot of Terry this week and I hope he is getting better. When he was here he was well-mannered and hard working.






We are all looking forward to Erin's return and hope she is recovering quickly.



I was impressed with Adam's art work this week. He took alot of care in painting and when I asked him about the colours he chosefor his work he said he really likes "strong things." We are still working on his tendency to talk out of turn, but he is learning slowly to listen carefully before he talks.

Paige was a model student this week. The class got into a bit of trouble this Friday for talking and playing during naptime. I am proud to say that Paige was sound asleep. She always behaves herself and tries her best in class.


I love to talk to Joyce. She is such an interesting girl with so much to say. For the most part she is well-mannered, however she sometimes becomes moody and will not listen to instructions. This is not a big problem as it does not happen all the time. I think she just needs some gentle reminders about listening to teachers.


We have had some ups and downs as a class this week, and we are facing some challenges regarding concentration and listening skills. The children are a little older now and have moved up a level, and I think they are experiencing a period of adjustment as they learn to fullfil new expectations. I am confident that the Dolphin class will progress together over the next months and become mature and responsible students.
