Week of March 12th - 16th

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.

2nd Grade Reading
We are working on Unit 12 of the Wilson Fundations program. In this unit students are working with two new vowel teams: oi and oy.
Examples: coin, boy
