There were two homework assignments for today :
1. On Saturday, students received a sheet of paper and they were supposed to go home and write about their holiday. This is to practice writing paragraphs. Remember that a paragraph has at least 5 sentences!! I want students to remember how to write paragraphs and practice!
2. Workbook page 46 : the exercises in the workbook was there to practice reading and answering questions.
IF there is any word you don't understand in your reading, please circle the word! ASK me in class the next day what that word means!
We practiced speaking in class and I have told students that from now on until the end of the year, that students will lose points if I hear them speaking in Arabic! I want students to practice talking as much as possible! Even with your friends, in class I want you to speak ONLY in English!
NOTE TO PARENTS : I will go over the workbook homework in class with the students. I know that sometimes the book is hard to understand.
Have a great evening!

CLASS TODAY : FEBRUARY 22ND
4a : In class today we shared family pictures and students talked about their family members!
We cancelled dictation today since they all had a Math test. MAKE SURE YOU STUDY for your dictation tomorrow! Study the vocabulary from Lesson 1 in Unit 7!
4b: We talked about our family members and played the game "who am i?"
example : I am your brother's son. I am your NEPHEW
I am your parent's parents. I am your GRANDPARENTS
We also started workbook pages 36 and 37.
The second time we had English, I was surprised to hear some students say that they "hate" their teachers. So, in their notebooks, I had my students write and think about the question : WHY SHOULD YOU RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS?
I want students to think about this question. In my class, and in all classes, students MUST be respectful to all their teachers and their classmates.
