Introduction: Welcome to another exciting week in the second grade at Lih-Jen International School! In this week's blog post, we'll take a closer look at all the fantastic learning experiences and activities that filled our fourth week of the school year. Grammar Adventures: Our week started off with a deep dive into the world of grammar. Second graders at Lih-Jen International School explored the proper use of "a" and "an" in sentences. This was an essential step in building strong language skills. We also tackled plural nouns and learned about those tricky irregular nouns like "children" and "geese." It's amazing to see how our language can bend and adapt! Math Mastery: In the world of mathematics, our young scholars took on the challenge of adding three-digit numbers. This skill is a crucial foundation for more complex mathematical concepts in the future. Our students showed their determination and problem-solving skills in this ex...

  Hello, dear readers! We're back with another exciting update from our second-grade classroom 203A and 201B. The third week was filled with adventures in grammar, spelling, phonics, math, and some mesmerizing experiments with light and shadows. Let's dive right into the highlights of our week! Grammar Galore: Learning about "Be" Verbs In our language arts class, we dived into the world of grammar. This week, we focused on "be" verbs, those important words like "is," "am," and "are"."

We did spell engaging with games and interactive activities. Each day, we became more confident in ou...

Parents at Lih-Jen International School! We hope the second week went smoothly. As we enter the second week, we have an important update to share: Grade 2 students will no longer receive printed materials, such as spelling and vocabulary words. Instead, everything they need can be found in their language handbook.  If you'd like to see all the spelling words, vocabulary words and weekly sentences, please check their language handbook on the week's lesson. We work with the material during class so they are familiar with it. If you have any doubts please let me know I will be happy to clarify anything.  My goal is to make learning enjoyable. As we move forward, I'm excited about the learning opportunities this year brings. Thank you for your support, and let's make this Grade 2 experience at Lih-Jen International School both memorable and successful! Below is the printout for the week of 9/4-9/8. Please make sure to check the right one for your child. The one on top is fo...

The first week of school is always a whirlwind of excitement and new beginnings. As we welcomed  students back to the classroom, this year's first week was a bit shorter than usual, but it was packed with smiles, introductions, and the promise of great adventures ahead. One of the most wonderful aspects of the first week of school is watching the students connect and forge new friendships. As we started our days with icebreakers, games, and sharing sessions, it was heartwarming to witness the children quickly forming bonds. They introduced themselves, shared their favorite hobbies, food and even discovered shared interests. While the first week is filled with fun and laughter, it also sets the tone for the entire school year. We emphasized the importance of tidiness, respect, and collaboration. These core values will guide us as we work together to achieve our academic goals and create a positive learning environment. I'm grateful for the support of the parents during this cruc...
