Week of October 20th - 24th

First Grade

Reading and Language Arts
This week in Reading we worked on reading as a group and individually. We worked on rhyming words, inital and ending sounds, blends, sight words.

Math
This week in math we worked with both addition and subtraction. We explored how addition and subtraction are related, identify and write related facts, write number sentences to represent addition and subtraction situations and learn how to choose when to add or subtract.

Second Grade

Reading and Language Arts
This was another busy week in Reading and Language Arts. We worked on our journals this week. The children made sure they always started with a capital letter, used finger spacing, their best handwriting and ended with a punctuation mark. We read and spelled letters using glued sounds such as: onk, ong, ing, ink, all, am, an, ive, olt, old. We also worked with phonics.

Math
This week we worked on reviewing concepts that we have learned in this chapter: rounding, skip counting and greater than less than. We had our chapter test on Friday. Next week we will start on addition of two digit numbers.
