Week of November 2nd - 6th

Second Grade Math
In math we finished Chapter 5 on adding two digits with regrouping. Our next chapter continues two digit addition with regrouping. Please continue to work on addition and subtraction facts at home.

First Grade Reading
This week we completed Unit 3 in our Wilson Reading program. The children took a Unit test that should have come home with them on Thursday. Please look over the test with your child. We continue to work with the diagraphs: ck, sh, ch, th and wh. We have read and written many words using these diagraphs. We have also worked on several writing assignments this week.

Afternoon Math
This week in Math we have been working with money. The boys have worked with pennies, nickels and dimes. Next week we will work with quarters and dollar bills. They continue to have a difficult time with counting by 5s and 10s so I will keep practicing this with them.

Afternoon Reading
This week we worked on a variety of different activities. We read Thanksgiving books, completed phonics assignments, worked with digraphs and worked on guided reading. The boys also completed writing assignments on Fall and what they are thankful for. Please continue to read the books that I send home daily.
