2nd Grade Math
This week in Math we worked on two digit addition with and without regrouping. We also worked on using tables to solve addition and subtraction problems. We will be having our Chapter 6 test on Monday.
1st Grade Reading
This week I did not meet with my regular power hour groups. Instead I went into three 1st grade classrooms and taught a lesson about Respect. Children listened to the story Smoky Night and we made class quilts to represent the similarities and differences between the classmates.
2nd Grade Reading
This week we continued with Unit 3 of our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we are working with the exceptions to the closed syllable types. These exceptions are taught as "glued sounds." The exceptions are: ild, ind, old, olt and ost.
We also worked on two vowel teams: oi, oy

Week of November 1st - 5th
2nd Grade Math
We continue to work on double digit addition. My students need some reminders but have been doing well with completing their work correctly. We also continue to work with Math facts and timed test for speed and accuracy.
1st Grade Reading
We are currently working on Unit 4 or our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we work on the ff, ll, ss bonus letter rule. At the end of a one syllable word, if the word has one vowel immediately followed by an f, l, or s at the end, double that consonant.
The extra f, l or s is considered a bonus letter because it is extra. It does not make a sound. The word miss, for example, has the 3 sounds since the bonus letter s does not make a sound.
The letter a followed by double l does not have the expected short vowel sound.
Examples: ball, call, tall
2nd Grade Reading
We completed Unit 2 of our Wilson Fundations program this week. Starting next week we will begin Unit 3. In this unit the children will learn the exceptions to the closed syllable type.
Closed syllable exceptions follow a similar pattern to closed syllables, but have a long vowel sound instead of the expected short vowel sound.
These exceptions are taught as "welded" or glued sounds. The exceptions are: ild, ind, old, olt and ost.
