Week of February 6th - 10th

2nd Grade Math
We completed our chapter on telling time. Please continue to work on telling time and counting change with your children at home. Next week we will start our next chapter on solid figures.


1st Grade Reading
We completed Unit 7 of our Wilson Fundations program. Next week we will start Unit 8. In this unit we will learn the differences between a blend and a digraph. A digraph contains two consonants and only makes one sound, such as /sh/. A blend contains two consonants but they make their own sound, such as /s/ and /l/, /sl/.

2nd Grade Math
We completed Unit 9 or our Wilson Fundations program. Next week we will start Unit 10. In this unit students will work with a new syllable type, the double vowel syllable.

Week of January 30th - February 3rd

2nd Grade Math
We completed our two chapters on money and are now working on telling time. Please continue to practice counting money and math facts at home.

1st Grade Reading
We are working on Unit 7 of the Wilson Fundations program. We are working with 8 new glued sounds (ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk). These glued sounds have individual sounds but they are closely glued together.

2nd Grade Reading
We are working with Unit 9 of the Wilson Fundations program. In this unit students will learn the remaining r-controlled sound combinations: er, ir and ur.
Students will learn to read and spell these r-controlled syllables in isolation and when combined with other syllable types.
