W2 - Mar 2

Dear, parents. 

Please find the communication book copy below. I edited it and tried to make it easier to understand. I'm not sure why I was given a file that didn't look exactly like the communication book. Anyway, I edited it so students will not be confused anymore. 

As for homework, students should always  read the story in their own time during the week. Students will copy VW words everyday, and read a weekly conversations each day. On the Thursday and Friday students should review for the test. This may mean having a mocktest to review, although I am happy with the results from my first weekly test. Therefore, I will not provide a mocktest for this coming weekly test. 

Students took my weekly test this morning and I am happy to say that 13 students scored 100%, 11 students scored over 70%, and 1 student scored less than 70%. 
I am very proud of them all. I can clearly see their drive to learn and improve. 

That being said, I do have a few announcements. 
In future I will half points for not fully completed answers, or for spelling mistakes. If students need to circle and write, that is what they must do. Circling and writing the letter for the answer will not be acceptable. 

Also, if a student has a paper returned with 'Assist' It means they struggled with the test. This means that they had to resit the test with me. I am happy to do this because it is a test/quiz, and I can understand some students need extra help. However, it is not inconvenient and there is not always time to allocate to this kind of extra help. 
🤍🙏

Dear, parents. Today we covered some Wonders, although students told me some pages were already finished.  We did the first two pages no problem. However, when we came to the last two, it was already filled out. I'm not sure why, and will try work that out tomorrow.  Today we had experience class, which seemed to go okay. Students seem to enjoy learning about Africa art patterns and making their paperplate necklaces. The only issue was with some students standing up and  walking around instead of working on their own project. I repeatedly asked them to wait until break and go back to their seats. Sadly, I eventually shouted to tell them to sit down. This worked, but I don't feel comfortable having to raise my voice so much for a few students who wouldn't follow the rule. Please encourage your children to listen, learn, and respect. Students were sent home with a mocktest. I covered the material during the class, so they should be able to complete i...
