In the 1st semester choosing the right level was hard because I didn’t know what book I should read. I also had trouble with saying the S sounds. EAP was also hard, but when I learn new vocabulary I got better. I want to write neater, so people can read my writing. My goals are to write neater and become better at English.

Hi Mrs.M
I had hard time my first semester in I.S.B because I’m an new student for I.S.B.
But at math I didn’t have any problem. And I am an ESL student and believe me english is an hard language for a lot of people in this world. I really liked ISB because it is teaching exactly in my level I really want to go to sixth grade after all what I heard about middle school I don’t want to leave Elementary

Hi everyone,
I think that the most difficult time of the semester was when I had to fined my own level for books. I also think that it was hard because I have just started checking it for myself and I still am not so good at this. The easiest subject I have is math and I think so because it is almost the same as I did in Israel. My goal is to be batter at spelling.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I had hard time to choose my nonfiction books
and also some fiction books.
And also nonfiction books are hard because it has
real information about one subject.
My new year goal is to read historical fiction books and
some level O,P (and some Qs) book and understand the book’s plot.
Also, I’m going to make inference about it.

Hi! Ms.Mongno!
The difficult thing in the first semeter is to read the non-fiction books.Because the non-fiction books are very hard for me and that I need to find the easier books of nonfiction.Also, because at nonfiction books I learned a lot of the new words.
The easy thing of the first semeter is read my right level’s(O,P) books, because that the words in the books are easy to me.
I want to advance reading,I think I can read the books everyday over 1 hour and read aloud to my dad.
My goals for next year is make my reading level up and do more excercise, because i want to learn the new vocab in the new levle books.Also, for the excercise that because i want to have good fitness.

Hi,Miss Mongno!
The thing that is hard for me at this semester is that I’m not good at speaking and writing because I came from a Trilingual school and my vocab is not that strong like my other friends. The thing that is easy for me at this semester is that I can zoom in on a small moment very well. What I like to improve is that I want to learn more vocap and I will try to speak more with my friends. My goal for next semester is that I will try to read more books and speak more English at home.

Hi!

I think the most difficalt thing for me in this semester was to write personal neritives. It was difficalt because I needed to write the story with alot of detail. The easy thing was to pick my books on my level because I learned the 5 finger test last year too. My progers is advancing at reading because I think I read my books more ofen every day. My gool for next semester is to improve on writing. I want to write a daiary at my house because then I am writing at my house too. I also want to type faster because I`m always slow at typing when we start typing our story. I want to improve that by finding a good typing program in the internet.Other gools for next year is play more sports ofen. I want to do that because I feel I need to improve my grades on P.E. too.

Merry X’mas and Happy New Year Ms.Mongno,

In the 1st semester, the difficult thing is writing a paragraph story about you(me). Because we have to zoomed in the one part of the story, this we called seeds story which took me a long time to write and edited it. While, the easiest thing in the 1st semester is reading my book and learning more vocabularies, because this also make my brain learning more and more exciting words to use in the future.

The 1st semester in reading I think I’ve make a good progress of learning more vocabularies skills, even though I was new here in I.S.B. For the speaking and listening I think this improved me to be able to take a chance to show the work to your classmates and be able to acted. And the last but not least, writing… Which makes me a little bit difficult, but I think I make a good progress of writing a story when I have to zoomed in.

For the next semester my goals is to be able to read a high level books, to not be in the ESL, and to be more active in class. Which all of this I’d planned that I’ll pratice in the subjects I have planned.
For the goals beside me is to be a good golfer, like Tiger Wood have done in the past.

Have a Nice New Year Eve!!!! :] (>_<)
