Hi,

Frances did an excellent job today. She was able to read her phonics words and a short story. She can continue to practice reading the unit sight words 'with' and 'are.'

Thanks,

Katie.

Frances did a great job today in class. She used her new vocabulary words in sentences and read the short lesson text independently. 

Excellent work from Frances today.

Thanks,

Katie

Frances did an excellent job in class today. We practiced making sentences with her new vocabulary words and she participated very well (special, beneath, fresh, raise, delicious, he, with). Frances read her lesson story independently. Great work from Frances today.

Thanks,

Ms. Katie

Hi,

Frances did an excellent job in class today. She read her phonics words and short story independently. Frances did well with the new lesson vocabulary and forming her own sentences. He can use the lesson slides to continue to practice her vocabulary words.

Thanks,

Ms. Katie

Frances did an excellent job in class today. She began with the new vocabulary words and she was attentive for most of her vocabulary lesson. I have added the slides from today's lesson to the portal and she can continue to review and practice the new vocabulary for homework. We did not finish using each new word in a sentence. She can do that for homework.

Frances did very well with today's reading. She identified the describing words (adjectives) in sentences and formed sentences with adjectives from a list she made. Frances participated very well in her grammar lesson and worked hard.

Thank you,

Katie

Frances did very well on most parts of her unit assessment. She was able to listen as I read the story and she answered all comprehension questions correctly. Frances can listen to a word and identify the first or last letters. She was able to pick the words with the same first or last letters. Frances has a harder time picking the correct middle vowel. She could read all of  the words on the slides but had a harder time listening and deciding on the correct middle letters. Frances became a bit distracted for a few minutes near the end of our assessment. She did begin to participate well again and we completed all activities. Excellent work from Frances.

Thank you,

Ms. Katie

Hi,

Frances did a great job in class today. She participated well practicing the new vocabulary words (local, neighborhood, routine, intelligent, volunteer). She can continue to practice the word 'volunteer' as it was the most difficult for her. 

Frances read today's reading independently. With encouragement she formed a few sentences for me about what she would like in a neighborhood.

Great job today from Frances.

Thank you,

Ms. Katie

Frances did well in class today. She worked on the vocabulary with me and with some encouragement formed her own sentences. Frances did a great job in her phonics lesson and with her reading. 

Task one of lesson 12 is the 'homeschooling materials' and they have good ideas to reinforce what she is talking and reading about in class. 

Thank you,

Katie.

Today Frances had her unit review. She did very well in all areas. Frances listened to a story and correctly answered 5 of the 6 comprehension questions. Frances did very well identifying words that began with either /p/ or /t/ and had a bit more difficulty finding the words that ended with that sound (picking the correct word out of three). Frances was able to sound out words and tell me how many letter sounds they had. She did very well reading all sight words. Frances identified all shapes from the unit and what animals can hop. Excellent work from Frances today.

Thank you,

Katie.

Hi,

Frances did an excellent job in class today. She participated well in class and did all of the text reading on her own. Frances can continue to practice her vocabulary words using the lesson slides and identifying verbs (action words) in sentences. 

Excellent work today from Frances.

Thanks,

Ms. Katie.

Hi,

Frances arrived quite late today but we got down to work and she finished her study of the vocabulary words and her lesson reading. Frances was a bit reluctant to read but once she got going she did very well. 

Frances can continue to practice her vocabulary  words using the lesson slides. We did not have a chance to finish the grammar lesson and she can practice using verbs with several activities I added to the vocabulary slides. 

Thank you,

Ms. Katie.

Hi,

Frances had her unit review today and she did a very good job. She listened to two short stories and answered comprehension questions. Frances was able to identify the setting of a story. She answered most questions correctly on her own and needed assistance on two of the six comprehension questions. In the phonics awareness section Frances was able to identify the short /a/ vowel sound in the middle of short words. She needed some assistance identifying the final consonant sound in a word. I think this problem was more an issue with understanding the directions for the activity. Frances shows very good awareness of all consonant sounds. Frances was able to read her high frequency words on her own (the, see, we). Great job today from Frances. 16/20 

I hope she has a fabulous holiday.

Thanks,

Ms. Katie.

It was nice to see Frances again today in class. She had a more difficult lesson and I am not sure how much of the class she was listening to as she was not in the camera. Frances did read some of the phonics lesson but I know she can actually read a lot more than she did today. Please speak to her about being attentive in class and not playing with toys or reading books (I have had to ask her in several lessons to put her Monkey King book away). Frances is a very bright and delightful student and with better attention in class I am sure she would advance a lot with her English reading. 

Thank you,

Ms. Katie.

It was nice to see Frances in class today. Frances was very reluctant to read in class. The text was fairly simple and I am sure she could have read it independently. Frances participated a bit, and I hope she will continue to participate more each lesson. Frances spent a lot of the lesson looking at a book on her desk and she may need to clear her work space before each lesson for better attention. 

She did help to identify and label some of the pictures for her homework activity. 

Thank you,

Ms. Katie.

Frances did well in her first lesson today. She did want to show me many toys but with redirection she  was able to return to her lesson tasks. Frances can be a reluctant reader at times and will answer "I don't know" when I am pretty sure she does. I will continue to look for new ways to motivate Frances in class and keep her engaged for the full 40 minutes.

What are some of Frances' interests? Are there any favorite movie characters or book characters I could include in the slides to keep her interested? I have found a 'reward slide' at the end of the lesson that we add to throughout (a click for great reading participation adds another piece of the puzzle picture) is very effective in keeping the younger learners motivated.

Frances began with the new unit vocabulary today and I have forwarded the slides for her to review. I also included an introduction to nouns. We will continue to study nouns in future classes. 

Thank you,

Ms. Katie.
