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
