Day 2 of ELA Class-Vocabulary Words, homework, and the beginning of the story

 Hello parents and students,

We went over vocabulary words #1-12, and 15-17 today and we will be going over the other vocabulary words as we read through the text in the next two days and we will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday.

Students got a lot out of our learning activities and seemed to respond well to various exercises that we did which included spelling and writing practice. As a result, we saw a rise in comradery and we got to know each others' strengths and weaknesses more. At the end of one of the activities, we needed to review the rules so that everyone has the chance to learn in respectful environment. We will continue to work on reading fluency in class, but I recommend students spend some time on reading the text 

"The Man Who Invented Basketball" by themselves at home within the next two weeks.

Anyways, I had students write down the homework for today in their Communication Books.

Homework:

1. Write the first ten vocabulary words from page 6 in the CB two times and write a definition. (that was given in class or from an internet dictionary)

2. Write the Chinese translation (Optional and will be signed by the parents)

Day 8-More Reading Activities and Reminder to Bring the Books

 Hello parents, We continued to read through the book's text about how the Canadian James Naismith created the sport of basketball for his PE students in Massachusetts, USA, and how it spread to locals, students nationwide, and was also quickly adopted by women. James' wife was a woman who played the sport that he invented before they even met. While his students were originally reluctant to try a new sport, they quickly changed their minds and stopped grumbling. It's an inspiring story, and it seems that students are enjoying it. As for our homework, I told students that they have two days to finish it. 1. Write Week 3's Vocabulary Words x2 (#1-25) (Finish by Friday) 2. Optional: Chinese Translation 3. Finish the reading in Reading Street (Pages 30-39) Also, please remind students to bring the book to class every day.

Day 12-"Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest" Introduction, Expository Text, Homework, and Sensay

 Hello students and parents, Today, we went over the first couple of pages on the text and I asked students to write down the word "expository text" with the definition being "gives information about the real world" for further study since it might be useful later on. After that, we talked about the preliminary parts of their "Scavenger Hunt" worksheet for bookwork/homework. I assigned it for homework today. Also, I added the "Ten Important Sentences" onto the Sensay website so please use it as a way to practice speaking and the sentences that I'll utilize for next week's test. They might also be helpful for the Scavenger Hunt worksheet so check them out.  As for homework: 1. Write Week 4 Vocabulary words 15-25 x2 + definitions (x1) 2. Optional: Chinese translations 3.
