Tommy Tang by https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz Tommy joined Harrow Beijing in March 2023, entering Year 4. He is a wonderful boy who enjoys being in school and engaging in school activities. While Tommy demonstrates many cognitive and social strengths, he faces significant challenges related to his working memory and processing speed. These difficulties are compounded by his efforts to master English as an additional language, given that his instruction has been primarily in English. Tommy requires considerable support to access learning in the classroom. Although he has adapted well to the new environment, he has encountered challenges in building relationships with his peers. To support his development, Tommy will need substantial assistance with socio-emotional learning, communication, and interaction. en-us 2024-06-20 03:38:01 UTC 2024-06-26 04:39:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/2526171166/bf5b7a85239936e6c5ca6c73674def0f/Screen_Shot_2024_06_20_at_11_40_04.png Ever since I joined Harrow in March and got to know Tommy, his performance in ART class has been consistently good. Although he is always late for one class, he would actively ask me what needs to be done for the day upon arrival and strive to do his best. 973651352 https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033048041 2024-06-20 05:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033048041 While he may lag behind other classmates in terms of artistic skills, possibly due to less practice time, he does a great job in tidying up before the end of each class. Moreover, he fully follows the teacher's instructions during class and has good behavior. In ART class, Tommy is not a special student; he is fantastic. 973651352 https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033048191 2024-06-20 05:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033048191 He has made a friend with Wang Mu 5SRO recently and they play together at play time. He made a lot of changes to his bad habits such as picking his nose and eating nasal droppings in front of other students on purpose, licking food from the floor to get attention, begging for food from others, etc. compared to the beginning of last year. From my daily observation in and out of class, I have noticed that some children changed their stereotype towards Tommy. -Catherine Niu xlniu https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033121050 2024-06-20 05:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033121050 Encourage him and teach him the correct way to make friends and keep friendship. Tell him clearly and directly about the reasons why others run away or keep away from him but show him the right strategies. Once discovered his progress, give him positive feedback and recognition straight away. -Catherine Niu xlniu https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033129444 2024-06-20 06:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033129444 I am appreciated to be trusted by Tommy this year. He likes to share his happiness and worries with me. A lot of times, he came to me and told me his happy feeling about the friendship with Wang Mu. And asked for my help to show him the way to make friends. - Catherine Niu xlniu https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033135554 2024-06-20 06:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033135554 Tommy is more eager to engage in PE lessons. At the beginning of the year, he would try to hide and run away from lessons. He has made a massive effort to achieve learning objectives in lessons and tries to make improvements. https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033182062 2024-06-20 06:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033182062 His level of physical literacy and physical skills is quite low, but he has benefited a lot from one-on-one attention in acquiring new physical skills when possible. Ms Catherine, Mr Gino and I have worked closely with Tommy when possible, and I have noticed other students helping Tommy too. https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033183069 2024-06-20 06:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033183069 Tommy loves swimming. He achieved the most success in team sports and activities when he played Water Polo. He performed very well in Tag Rugby and understood the rules for attacking and defending quite clearly. https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033193596 2024-06-20 06:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033193596 Using visuals and demonstrations helped Tommy in PE this year. He understands easily once he can see what he needed to do. However, he can be easily distracted so constant prompting and regular breaks were good for him. https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033196487 2024-06-20 07:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3033196487 He has very consistent attendance and shows up on time for my classes jsibley8 https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038294482 2024-06-26 04:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038294482 He has been able to collaborate with on occasion in group work such as a maths investigation jsibley8 https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038295198 2024-06-26 04:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038295198 Tommy needs explicit instruction 1-1 and constant supervision and support to stay on task jsibley8 https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038295843 2024-06-26 04:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/learningsupport2024/casryttzdeexqjaz/wish/3038295843
