Dear Parents,

This week, your children practiced the vocabulary pertaining to household chores.  You can check your child’s understanding by asking him or her a question such as “When do you take out the garbage?” (I take out the take garbage before/after school.) The Everybody Up! 3 course treats the lesson on chores as an opportunity to introduce the English simple present tense.  I take out the garbage/he takes out the garbage after school.  Next week, we will expand upon this week’s lesson by adding six new verb phrases and introduce adverbs of frequency: always, usually, sometimes, never.  The children will learn to answer the question: What are your/his/her chores?

The third graders read The Bug Hunt in Good English 3B, the fourth graders read The Noah’s Ark adventure.  You can, if your child brings his book home over the weekend, help him to practice by asking him to read aloud to you from the story that his class read.  Ambitious students might even try summarizing the story in their own words without referring to the text.  Please keep in mind that summarizing and reciting are different things.  While recitation does have its place, summarizing is a much better indicator of actual English ability.  Next week, the third grade classes will read Mister Haggis while the fourth graders will read Scarecrows. Enjoy your weekend.

亲爱的家长们：

本周学生们练习家务活相关的词汇。你可以通过问问题来检测“什么时候去扔垃圾？”（我在上学前/放学后扔垃圾）。本单元与一般现在时结合在了一起。放学后我扔垃圾/他扔垃。下周我们会拓展学习额外的6个动词以及表示频率的副词：总是、常常、有时、从不。并且会问：“你/她的家务活是什么”

三年级学习了典范英语的捕虫人，四年级学习了诺亚的冒险。周末你们可以帮助孩子练习读故事。有能力的学生也可以试着用自己的语言去复述这个故事。复述和背诵是不同的。背诵课文也很重要，但是复述故事可以更好的提升英语能力。下周，三年级会学习哈吉斯先生，四年级会学习稻草人。周末愉快

Sincerely,

Jake Stotz
