Week of September 14th - 18th

Second Grade Math - AM
We started Chapter 2 on subtraction facts and strategies this week. The strategies we used this week were counting back, using fact families, and using addition to find the differences.

First Grade Reading
This was the first week of our RTI program. I am currently seeing three different groups of children. We concentrated on the letters: b, f, m, n, t, c, a, i, r this week. We focused on writing words, reading words and making words. We also played word family bingo.

Afternoon Reading
This week we concentrated on short a words. We read a story called A Rat and the children did really well with it. We also did a variety of other activities including: Imagination Station, word family activities, Guided Reading, and vowel sound activities.

Afternoon Math
This week in Math we concentrated on the numbers 1 - 10. We worked with patterns, one to one correspondence. We also worked on basic addition.
