Friday, August 27, 2010

We read a book about being a friend to a new student.
On Wednesday, we had 5 minutes of extra recess becasue we got over 50 digits correct on our math probe.  Our class total was 104.   Next week we need 105 digits correct.
Rosa Parks changed laws about "colored" people and being ablle to do the same as white people.

We completed a full week of school with only a shortened day on Monday.  It was a good week.  We are still working on some routines for second grade.  As a reminder, the students will be bringing home spelling homework on Tuesdays - due back on Wed.  They also have moth practice sheets on Thursday night that are due on Friday.  Thanks for helping with that.

There are book orders in their Friday folders today.  These are due back next Friday.  Included is a pink letter about ordering on line.  They have made it much simpler this year so feel free to try that.  If you send the order to school, checks need to be made out to Scholastic.  One check for all of your orders.

In math we have been working on addition strategies.  They have remembered quite a bit from first grade!  We will be doing Bubble math starting next week.  Mondays are addition and Thursdays are subtraction.  Hopefully, by next Friday the students can explain it to you but they haven't tried it yet.

Every Tuesday is math probe day.  They are working to beat their personal best as well as the class best.  Quite the challenge. 

Next Monday my student teacher starts.  Her name is Casey Faircloth.  Mrs. Faricloth will be with us through most of October.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
