New Math Sites

Some parents have asked for some more math websites to visit, so check out the links in the right margin under Math Websites. Some of the sites offer math worksheets that you can modify to meet your own desires and print out for practice!!

Today, we started word sort groups. We are starting with 3 groups, pink, green, and blue. These groups were identified based on the Words Their Way spelling inventory that was given the second week of school. This inventory tells me what spelling patterns they have mastered and which list I need to start them on. You might find that your child tells you the list they have is too easy, but this is word study so your child will benefit from the study that we do with the words. The sorting is good for classification purposes. Today's assignment was to do a regular sort like we did in small group today.

I am so excited to report that yesterday, I collected the homework sheet from the kids' binders and we had almost 100% of the kids write down their reading selections EVERY DAY AND got parent signatures!! I cannot even express my gratitude that you are so supportive and encouraging on this communication piece. Thank you!!

Second grade PE night is TOMORROW!! Our class's session is from 6-7p.m. Bring the whole family!
