Week of May 3rd - 7th



2nd Grade Math: This week we completed our chapter on Fractions. My students did very well on their tests! We also started our new chapter on place value.

1st Grade Reading: This week I helped administer the Aimsweb Spring benchmark test so I did not meet with my 1st Grade Reading groups. We will meet again starting on Monday and we will resume with Unit 13 of our Wilson Fundations program.

We released nine butterflies on Wednesday. We still have one cocoon left. We are hoping the butterfly comes out soon.
