We've got the whole world in our hands...

We celebrated Earth Day this week by reading the Lorax with a writing activity, made some Earth men and picked up trash outside around the school, and other writing activities in Mrs. Skalaban’s class.

The kids sure were a bunch of chatty, wiggly worms this week. I am in the process of completing the TPRI testing and I am so happy to see how much some of the kids have improved. Please continue reading with your child because I still need to do the DRA with them, which will determine the reading level. They need to be at a level 16 to be on grade level!

On Friday, we had our last robotics lesson for the year and some people from Junior Achievement from UT come teach the class about the community. The children completed a book with the Junior Achievement instructors that were placed in their daily folders.

In Vietnamese Language Arts, we have not completed our weekly packet for this week. This week we worked on TH and NH words. Last week we worked on NG and and NGH sounds. Last week's NG and NGH words were a little tricky. Even for my Vietnamese students just because it's a hard sound to articulate. Vietnamese blends and English blends are pretty similar but the NG and NGH is not a common one that is used.

I will not be at Spring Fling today. I have a baby shower and 2 birthdays to attend. But for those who do go, have a fun time and make sure you bid on a basket!

Silly Quote of the Week:

H: “Cô Tracy, why is your feet brown?”

Me: I looked down at my feet thinking he meant I had something brown stuck on my feet.

“What’s brown?”

H: “Your feet.”

Me: “What do you mean?”

H: “Why is the skin color on your feet brown?”

Sunny recess = tanned feet
