2nd Grade Math
This week we continue to work with double digit addition. We will have our chapter test on Tuesday. Then we will begin double digit subtraction. The boys are having a difficult time with double digit addition so please keep practicing with flash cards at home to increase their speed.
1st Grade Reading
My students completed Unit 4 this week in Wilson Fundations. In this unit they learned about
the bonus letters f, l, & s. If a word has one vowel immediately followed by an f, l, or s at the end, that consonant is doubled. Such as puff, hill, and miss. We also worked with the glued sound "all."
Students also continued to work on phonics skills as well as reading fluency and comprehension.
Afternoon Math
This week in Math we have been working on measuring. Various concepts discussed this week include: shorter, longer, estimating and measuring, equal parts and counting.

This week was a bit different then a normal Reading week. I visited Miss Tracy and Mrs. Sis's room and taught a lesson on Respect. The children listened to a story called The Smoky Night. As a group we discussed differences and the importance of respecting each other and their property. After the discussion we made a class quilt. Each child made a quilt square that represented themsevles.
Afternoon Math
This week in Math we continue to focus on money. The chidren have now worked with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills. They are aware of each coin's value and we have continued practicing on adding up various coin amounts. This has been a difficult task for my students.
