It's a new month! Here's what we did yesterday and today!

**In class we made cards.  In each card students wrote down a personal promise for them, but also for me, an for you (parents).  They wrote "I will be THE BEST I can be!" .  This is their behavior card.  If they are in their best behavior, students will receive a 20/20 for their daily behavior grade, and on the back of the card, they receive a star. 
Behavior Warnings are as follows :
Fighting - 0/20
Talking, shouting, not raising hands - X
If you receive more than 3 X's in a period, I will talk to the student's parents and to Ms. Rania.


Next week, I will make a chart with everyone's names.  You will be able to see your name and how many stars you get every week! :)

5B 

This first week of school,  we did many things!  We read a poem called "The First Day of School".  I hope you enjoyed the poem!


We also started reviewing a little bit of grammar.  I want to remind you about PRESENT CONTINUOUS verbs!
Remember that Present Continuous just means :   VERB + ING
Example :  
Verb : play     Present Continuous : Playing




I gave you all a worksheet.  I hope it was not too difficult.  I will be giving back the worksheet tomorrow. 


We also made "about me" cards! This is the written project for this week and we will work more on this tomorrow!

5A

I didn't see you for as many lessons as I saw 5b.  However, we did start on a story today in class called "Jimmy's Treasure".  We will finish the story tomorrow.  We will also do the worksheet on Present Continuous verbs.  If we have time in class tomorrow, we will start making the "About Me" cards.  If we don't, don't worry, we will do this project next week!

Parents

This week I saw section 5B six times and 5A only once.  Because of this, their worksheets are different.  However, the important thing is that I wanted to review a little bit of grammar before starting on the Bright Star books.  I want both sections to be comfortable with Present Continuous verbs, and I want them to have their worksheets completed!


Next week we will start using the books, and I would also like for all the student to have their three notebooks and their English folder!
