Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have a great weekend! This week was test week, so the students had to write their tests for chapter 3 in Science, and also their reading comprehension, listening, and vocabulary tests. The class average was 87%. Most of the students did a great job.

MJ is a very smart and capable student, however he seems to not care about his tests. I often wonder if he studied at all. He should study before the test, not during the 5 minutes before class starts.

Irisa did very well on her reading and vocabulary tests. Good job Irisa! She is still making a few mistakes when she is writing, but she is improving all the time.

Anne's writing is fair but she seems to make a lot of the same mistakes over and over again. She seems to struggle with verb/ tense agreement. She did, however, get a very high score on all her tests, she studied and it showed.

Betty did well on her tests. I think she may have wanted to study a bit more before the day of the test, she seemed reluctant to take the tests.

Howard did an excellent job on his tests. Howard is a very smart boy, however, he can be very disruptive in class, and very loud! Howard needs to learn to lower his voice. Also, when Howard is writing, he often jumps from topic to topic completely ignoring the question. The essay part of the reading test was the only thing he failed and it wasn't because of his grammar, it was because he did not answer the question, and instead wrote about whatever he felt like.

Teddy did a good job on his tests this week. His writing seems to be improving. Teddy has a tenancy to cause a scene when he enters the classroom. He needs to remember that there are other students working and he should be quiet.
