2nd Grade Math
This week we took our Chapter test on Measurement. When we return from Spring Break we will be working with weight, mass, capacity and temperature.
1st Grade Reading
We are working on Unit 10 of the Wilson Fundations program. In this unit students will learn to blend and segment up to five sounds in a closed syllable.

2nd Grade Math
This week we have been working with measurement. My students have been having fun working on a lot of hands on activities in the classroom. They are learning to make estimates using inches, feet and yards. They will also learn how to measure in centimetes and meters. We also continue to review skills learned earlier in the year including: double digit addition and subtraction, telling time and counting change.
1st Grade Reading
We completed Unit 9 of our Wilson Fundations program. Our next unit does not introduce any new sounds. Instead students will learn to blend and segment up to five sounds in a close syllable.

Week of March 5th - 8th
Welcome to Mr. Diamond, our new student teacher! He will be working in my classroom for the next seven weeks.
2nd Grade Math
We have started our new chapter on measurement. We will be learning to measure in inches, centimeters, feet and yards. I will be sending home rulers with the kids. They may keep those at home to assist with homework.
1st Grade Reading
We are working on Unit 9 of our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit we are learning about closed syllables. Closed syllables can only have one vowel. The vowel is followed by one or more consonants (closed in). The vowel sound is short.
Examples: click, chunk, sniff
2nd Grade Reading
We are working on Unit 11 of our Wilson Fundations program. In this unit students will practice three new vowel teams: ee, ea and ey. Each of these letter combinations can have the long e sound and are found in double vowel syllables.
Examples: steam, sheep, hockey, indeed
