Wednesday Update

We've been working hard on all of our procedures for second grade.  It's going to pay off for the rest of the year when we've mastered these initial skills, because it will allow students to practice independent literacy and math activities and provide for opportunities for individual and small group attention for everyone.  This is absolutely essential in order to allow me to help each child grow to his/her fullest potential.

We also worked today on a few new things... 1) a reading strategy of tuning in to interesting words that we can learn for our reading and also to use in our writing,  2) using the part-part-whole model to show subtraction number sentences, 3) we met the main character of our new class chapter book for read aloud, Gooney Bird Greene!

Homework for tonight is math practice side 1-3.  I hope you're also going strong on the reading challenge!  We're really enjoying it at our house!
