Week 17 - Review

We had a good week, reviewing many concepts from previous weeks.  Some of the children began to read more words - and also are working on the ability to copy them into their very own "reading book".  They are very excited about this!

Other children have progressed from putting sentences together using the "shape reminders" from last week to developing them on their own and writing them out!  It's also quite amusing to listen to them speak in conversation and have them identify the adjective or verb.  Today, one of the girls mentioned  a "spooky castle" and someone said, "spooky, that's a terrific adjective to describe the castle!"


This week, we also were able to taste a scone & tea!  A proper English mid-afternoon snack. The children love being able to use the tea cups and handle them with such care.  A good time to review words like delicate and fragile. With the colder weather, it was a nice way to warm up after recess as well.

I introduced to some Brothers' Grimm stories as well to the children, stories written from the country of Germany.  Hansel & Gretel, Rapunzel, The Elves and the Shoemaker, and The Golden Goose.  I always enjoy listening to them re-create the stories on their own throughout the day...correcting one another, or adding on to make it a bit more interesting!
