Week of September 21st - 25th

2nd Grade Math
This week we completed our chapter on subtraction. The boys did very well on their math tests. They worked on fact families, counting back, touch math and using addition to solve subtraction problems. Chapter three will focus on Place Value to 100.

1st Grade Reading
This week in Reading we continued to work with the Wilson Reading program. We are still reviewing letters and sounds. We also worked on sight words, poems, fluency, and making words. My students have been working really hard in Reading!

Afternoon Math
This week we worked on positioning, patterning, simple addition, counting and ordinal numbers. The boys have been busy. We also briefly discussed estimation. This was a confusing concept for my students.

Afternoon Reading
My afternoon Reading group has been busy this week. We read a story called Sap and worked with -ap, - at, and -ack words. We focused on fluency and comprehension strategies. We added more words to our word wall, worked on spelling words and focused on guided Reading.
