Hi parents!
I saw that some books were not covered yet so I went ahead and covered the books with my own covers. Please ensure that everyone is signing the communication book. The school really demands this.
Journeys: In hardcover Journeys we read a story about two girls going to camp, unbeknownst to them that they are princesses.
In softcover Journeys, we read a story about two kids lying to get into a baseball game.
Math: We learned about rounding and estimation. This year's 5th graders are super smart. They all got it immediately!
Science: We started on the respiratory system. We will finish the self check next Thursday or Friday.
Grammar: We learned more about the present progressive vs present simple. We will have a quiz next Friday.
Have a good weekend even though it is only for one day!
Mr. Richard

My name is Mr. Richard and I have the pleasure of teaching your child’s 5th grade English, math and science class this year. I am from New York, USA and I graduated from SUNY Stony Brook. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school aged students. This is my third year at Lih-Jen and I am looking forward to working with you and your child throughout the year.
My teaching style is very structured and visual based. I usually gauge their areas of interest and try to add some humor and excitement into my lesson plans from their feedback. I hold my students to high standards and I encourage open communication between the parents, the teacher and the student. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime at richard@ljjhps.tp.edu.tw or call me at 0955-195-379.
Thank you for your cooperation. Together we will achieve great success. I look forward to a wonderful partnership in your child’s education.
Respectfully,
Mr. Richard
