Week of May 4th - 8th

This has been my first full week back at Ide. Although I miss spending time with my daughter I have really enjoyed spending time with your children. It has been great to see all my students again. Their smiling faces and hard work makes me appreciate the great job I have. I want to thank all the parents for all of the wonderful lunches they have provided us with this week. It was nice to not have to pack a lunch everyday this week.

Due to Reading Benchmark testing I was unable to see my 1st and 2nd grade Reading groups. These groups will resume next week and I am looking forward to that.

1st Grade Math
We have been working on Chapter 15 which deals with Spatial sense. The students have been working with congruent shapes and identifying shapes that have a line of symmetry.

2nd Grade Math
This week we continue to work on measuring. We measured objects in centimeters, inches, feet and yards. We also worked on perimeter and measuring area.
