Does our room look different?


Our room has changed! Can you find your seat??

Yesterday, the kids got their first Home Link that goes with our math lesson. Some sort of math practice should come home nightly from now on Monday through Thursday. Sometimes, kids will have some time to begin (or complete) the math that is assigned. If your child comes home with a finished page, please take the time to go through the page with them. Feel free to create a new problem for them to do on the back that is similar to the problems on the page. Looking at and thinking about the activity in a different setting with a different person is a great way to get the brain to take in the information to a deeper level of memory.

Yesterday's home link (1.11) had a section that needed the MRB (My Reference Book) and since we had a substitute in here yesterday afternoon, it did not make it home. It is coming back home today to use the MRB (which every child should have) to finish, along with Link 1.12 on reading temperatures.

Don't forget to study your Words their Way words, Word Wall words, and Otter Creek Facts. Our Words their Way and Word Wall test will be at the end of this week, so be prepared.

Progress reports will come home on Friday. CoGAT testing will take place in second grade next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.
