This week we implemented an approach to discipline called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success.
We began this week by establishing clear expectations for behavior that was taught, modeled, and reinforced across all settings and by all staff. Our week culminated with a juggling celebration assembly which everyone really enjoyed!

I did not meet with my First Grade Reading students this week due to the Winter Reading/Math benchmark testing. Groups will resume in February.

Week of January 10th - 14th
2nd Grade Math
This week we completed Chapter 10 of our Math series. This unit focused on Probability. Our next chapter will be on Money. Please send in 4 quarters, 5 dimes, 10 nickels and 10 pennies with your child. After we are finished with money they will bring it back home.
1st Grade Reading
We had a busy week in Reading. We completed Unit 6 of the Wilson Fundations program and the children had their test earlier this week. You should have seen the graded test brought home in their green folders.
We began Unit 7 on Thursday. In this unit we introduced new glued sounds. There are four new glued sounds with the ng ending (ang, ing, ong, ung) and four ending with the nk (ank, ink, onk, unk). These new sounds have individual sounds but they are closely glued together. To tap these out you use three fingers glued together to represent the sounds working together.
2nd Grade Reading
We did not meet this week due to Aimsweb benchmark testing and MAPS testing. We will resume groups on Tuesday of next week. We will be working on Unit 6 of the Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we will review a syllable type learned in a previous level, the vowel-consonant-e syllable.
Examples: cape, home, pine, invite, reptile, give, bones
