2nd Grade Math
We continued to work with money this week. We were working on counting change and making change. We will have our chapter test early next week. Please practice counting money with your children whenever possible.
1st Grade Reading
We continued to work on Unit 7 of our Wilson Fundations program. We are working with new glued sounds ending with ng (ang, ing, ong, ung) and nk (ank, ink, onk, unk).
These new sounds have individual sounds but they are closely glued together.
2nd Grade Reading
We completed Unit 8 of our Wilson Fundations program. We will begin Unit 9 on Monday. In Unit 9 students will learn the three remaining r-controlled sound combinations (er, ir and ur)
Examples: burn, first, hamster

2nd Grade Math
We are working with money this week. We learned how to count on using various coins: half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. Please keep practicing this at home!
1st Grade Reading
We completed Unit 6 of our Wilson Fundations program today. Unit 7 will be working with new glued sounds. They are: ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk.
These glued sounds do not 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 are working on Unit 8 of the Wilson Fundations program. In this Unit, we are working with the r-controlled syllable.
This syllable contains a single vowel followed by an r (ar, er, ir, or, ur).
The vowel is neither long nor short; it is controlled by the r.
The syllable can be combined with other syllables to make multisyllabic words.

Week of January 3rd - 6th
Second Grade Math
We have begun our chapter on probability this week. Shortly we will be starting the next chapter on money.
1st Grade Reading
We have been working on Unit 6 of our Wilson Fundations program. The students have been learning about the concept of a baseword and suffix in a very simple way, with just the suffix -s.
Students will also be introduced to the concept of plurals.
2nd Grade Reading
We have been working on Unit 7 of our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit the students will be working with open syllables.
This syllable has only one vowel which is the last letter in the syllable.
The vowel sound is long.
This syllable can be combined with other syllables to make multisyllabic words.
Students will also learn that y often works as a vowel in open syllables, saying /i/ at the end of one syllable words and /e/ at the end of multisyllabic words.
