Week of November 10th - 15th

First Grade
Reading and Language Arts
This week in reading we worked on rhyming, onset fluency, blending and identifying final and medial sounds. On Friday we worked on a writing assignment about Thanksgiving. We also worked on glued sounds such as: am, an, all. Lastly we continue to review our vowel sounds. Many of the children are struggling with this.

Math
This week we worked on adding numbers to 12 while using various addition strategies. We used strategies such as: counting on, touch math, number lines and adding doubles.

Second Grade
Reading and Language Arts
This week in reading we worked on vowel teams: aw, au. We also worked on syllable divison. Lastly we worked on suffixes: -ful, -less, -ment, -ness, -ish, -en, -able. The kids worked very hard this week. They are making great progress.

Math
We continued to practice addition with and without regrouping. We solved problems by using a table and also by estimating. Next week we will have a chapter test.
