Dear Grade 5 Students and Parents:
A new school year begins...
This year's class is made up of only fifteen students. I am excited to teach this small, cooperative, and friendly group of individuals.
Students were asked to find a verse from Psalms that they will have to memorize by Friday. Students should choose a verse that is meaningful and describes God in a unique way. On Friday students will share their verse with the class. Today students were given opportunities to practice their oral presentations and given guidelines for effective speaking --voice that is clear, loud, confident, expressive, and speaker makes eye contact with audience. Also, students are making a Bible title page from the verse that they have chosen.
Please check out our classroom blog to find information about upcoming and important homework, information, and dates. I will try to update the blog on a weekly basis.
Here is a brief sample of what 5W students have said about their first few days of grade 5:
"I learned that we should treat each other with kindness and respect."--Daniel
"I like math centers and making our group classroom rule poster."--Brandon
"I like playing with my friends and learning. Grade 5 rocks!"--Hanna
"I think that this will be the best year of school ever!"--Cristian
"My first day of school was great and awesome."--Joshua L
"My first week of school was a blast!"--Joshua S.
"We read about a naughty dog Ike and his owner Mrs.LaRue." --Jaya
"I have been working hard in class."--Andy
"One of the best things that we did was the math centres."--Rebekah
"My first week of school was very fun."--Noor
"My teacher is very cool." --Abigail
"In PE class we played a fun game of soccer."--Odelia
"We made a poster about being nice and helping each other."--Lenny
"I have the funniest teacher on earth--Mr.Wu." --Angelica
I pray that this year will be a positive one of growth and encouragement for all my students.
Parents may contact me through email at dwu@vancouverchristian.org
I will try to respond to emails within two school days.
Blessings,
Mr.Wu
