Sweet Talk

Recently hazel starts to say something like " Mom, I love you. You are so beautiful so cute!".
Actually she never shows her affection before. Maybe because I am always with her talking care of her.
Since she goes to the kindergarden, she would tells me she miss me.
Even it is just a minute. Better than nothing.

Phonics: Yip! Yap!
Song: Pop! Goes the Weasel

Dear Parents,

I hope that you enjoyed the long weekend! We’ve been having another good week in class and the students are getting ready for the speech contest on Friday. The students are doing well with their writing and I’m very pleased to say that every student has improved a lot in the past few months. On Wednesday, the class had a fun time making spring rolls and eating them for lunch afterwards.

Hazel just keeps getting better and better at school every week! She can mostly read the phonics readers on her own and her writing has improved a lot in only a few weeks. She is also becoming more and more talkative with the teachers and her classmates as time passes. I’m really pleased with her level of progress.

Phonics: Yip! Yap! & The Ride in the Van
Song: One Finger, One Thumb

Dear Parents,

The first eight contestants recited their Mother’s day speech last Friday and the last eight contestants presented theirs this Friday. Overall the students performed well. This week the students were tested for the assessments. I looked at their ability to read sight words, blend sounds, understand spatial concepts and make sentences. On Thursday, the students spent the morning getting their medical checks.

Hazel has really been making an impression in class! She is so well behaved that she actually serves as a great example for her classmates! Hazel works really hard at keeping up in class and in no time at all she is catching up to the other students and even surpassing them in some respects!

Song: The Mulberry Bush

Dear Parents,

We’ve had yet another enjoyable week in class! On Wednesday, we made pudding for cooking class. After cooking class, we went to play at the park because the weather was so beautiful! The students have been keeping up the effort at school. They can now finish both their writing work and their MPM work very quickly. I’m pleased with the rate at which they are progressing!


Hazel has been doing well with everything at school. The only area where she is still slightly behind is with writing. She is getting better at writing her letters in the proper manner, but she still has some trouble with holding her pencil and Staying inside the lines. They could be because she has not had as much writing practice as her classmates in the past. Also, her fine motor skills may still need a little time to fully develop.

As hazel listens the song "Rock-a-Bye Baby" and looks at the book.
Suddenly she bursts out crying when she read the page which cradle falls and balloons fly away.
