Narrative Report : January 5 to January 9, 2009

Narrative Report
Period Covered: January 5 to January 9, 2009
By: Teacher Cristy

Happy New Year! As in the past, Griffin quickly settled back to school time after the two week Christmas break. He easily read JANUARY and answered "2009", as we talked about the new year. He enjoyed our walk outdoors as we blew little horns to welcome the first school day of the year. He also eagerly did our blow painting activity where we made our own version of fireworks. And when we had some writing activities, he announced to all "my favorite color is now blue", and he went on to get a blue pen from the box.:) He still finds it difficult to make his handwriting smaller. Although his strokes are a little better. He still doesn't want to write his surname, which he says is too long. When we talked about new things we would like to learn thisnew year, he said "I want to learn to write more things!". :)

As we did some math exercises on +, >, <, =, his initial comment when he saw the worksheets was "It looks a little hard, but it's OK". What he found difficult was writing the numbers and the symbols >,< but the concepts of addition, greater/lessthan and equal are not a problem for him at all. He likewise did very well in our reading comprehension activity, as well as forming 3-4 letter words.
