February 27-March 3
Hello families,
Happy Friday! Here are some updates from our week!
This week in math we practiced our counting on addition strategy. During our morning work, we also reviewed greater than, less than and equal to. We also started using open number lines to represent addition. We continued with our math groups as well - I've really been enjoying the small group math work and using our materials a little more.
In literacy we learned about the "kn" sound. This technically is not part of the grade 1 or 2 curriculum, but it was coming up a lot in the classroom so I wanted to address it. Students do not need to know when they are writing if a work is just n or kn, but hopefully when they are reading they will remember that the k is silent!
It is that time of year again, when we begin planning for our upcoming school year. In order for us to make the most accurate and informed plans possible, please take a moment to fill out the following form indicating your plans for your child(ren) for the 2023/2024 school year. This is the same form sent out earlier in the Friday School Messenger so if you have already completed it, please disregard.
