Week 11

Week 11 words   Dear Parents, Now that our Midterm Exams are completed, the students of A2 will return to our regular lesson schedule this week.

As we progress, we will continue to build on the skills we’ve developed. I will be placing a greater emphasis on grammar in each unit to better support and align with the students’ ongoing homeroom grammar instruction. Please note that our current story, Penguin Chick , along with its corresponding Reading and Writing Notebook (RWN) lessons, will not be included on the final exam. However, students are still expected to participate fully in all classroom activities and discussions related to this unit.

Week 10

  Penguin Chick Story Dear Parents of A2, As we begin our new reading unit,  Penguin Chick , please be informed that Week 10 will be a lighter week of instruction due to scheduled written exams on Tuesday and Thursday . To support students during this busy time, A2 learners will receive a light remedial handout for homework. While most of this assignment is expected to be completed in class, it is still listed in the communication insert for your reference. If your child feels overwhelmed or has other lessons that require more focus due to exam week, please encourage them to let me know. I will gladly provide the flexibility and support they need to manage their workload responsibly. On Friday, April 18 during period 1 we will continue with our weekly quiz. This quiz will be an open book quiz. Students can use their communication book to assist them complete their assessment.  Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
