Week of November 29th - December 2nd

2nd Grade Math
We are currently working on Chapter 8 or our math series. We continue to work with double digit subtraction. Our test will be on Thursday of next week. Please continue to work on flash cards at home with your children.

1st Grade Reading
This week in Reading we worked on Unit 5 or our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we worked with two glued sounds: -am, -an.
The vowels are somewhat changed from a pure short vowel to a more nasalized vowel.
We will be having our Unit test on Monday when the kids get back.

2nd Grade Reading
We are currently working on Unit 4 or our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we reviewed suffixes (-s, -es, -ed and -ing) as well as learned (-est, -ed, -ing, - est, -er).
We also reviewed the procedure for isolating the baseword when reading or spelling words with suffixes.
Lastly we worked on vowel teams (oa, ow, ou, ue, oe, ow, ou, ue, oo, ew).
