Friday Updates

We have had lots of fun this week and have learned many new things. We worked with our rock FOSS kit and went to the science lab again this week. In math we are continuing to learn different addition strategies and have practiced problem solving. Minute math seemed to be a struggle this week for many students. Even though we do many problems together, some children are still rushing through their work and not paying attention especially when new concepts are introduced. Next week we will be reviewing some of the commonly missed problems and students will have a chance to practice them again.

My second grade reading group learned to take Scholastic Reading Counts quizzes this week. These are tests on the computer that quiz you on questions from the books we are reading. Students can independently take quizzes in their level and see their progress immediately. Other students will be introduced to this program as the year progresses.
