We have been reading Twilight all this week and we have made some progress. We've read about 4 chapters and the students are very interested. The book is about 500 pages and we need to stay on a good pace to finish two novels this semester. Perhaps after reading the first 2, we can independent read the rest on weekends.
There are a lot of vocabulary words but slowly, new vocabulary words will decrease as they read. I believe this is one of the best book for them to read. It's interesting and challenging the same time.
MJ, good luck on your performance next week, keep practicing, don't forget to read.
Teddy, you have been trying hard in class to read clearly, keep up the effort.
Anne, I am glad you are participating and improving in class. Please do the same with Teacher Tina, as we are all trying to help you to succeed in school.
Howard, you are doing better but you have to work faster on your own time with written work.
Valerie, you are participating more and your reading fluency has improved. Please continue but don't forget to speak louder.
Betty, please think about what happened at home.
Jack, your pronounciation improved and you take reading more seriously. Make sure you keep up with the reading schedule.
Tina, make sure you keep up the reading at home and let me know if you need any help.

Physical Science
We are not talking about P.E. (physical education)
We are learning the properties of matter and the periodic table. Solid, liquid, gas are the basics. We are learning the difference between element, atom, molecuole, mixture, solution, solute, solvent, and etc. These are not difficult if you pay attention to it.
This week, we have been putting more time in science because in the weeks to come, we will be reading Twilight. Hopefully we can at least finish one or two novels this semester.
This semester is off to a good start, everyone is participating and continuing their effort from last semester.
Teddy and Jack have been putting in more focus in reading and he is speaking more clearly.
Valerie is more active in class, keep up the good work.
Anne is back, welcome back Anne!
Betty is putting in more effort as well, hopefully you will continue to do so.
Howard has a great attitude in class :)
Pon Pon is doing well, you just need more rest!
