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.
