Good Evening Parents!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know there were concerns about the agenda last week, but I am trying a new technique this week, and giving them more time. I will also be checking their bags to ensure they are packing the right books. I noticed they had some trouble with the agenda, so this is something I am working on.

Here is how our day looked:

UOI

Grade 1

We shared our family tree activity, and looked at a world map to see where our families are from. We talked about family relationships for the morning, and they were all excited to share.

NO homework

Grade 2:

Students looked at maps in more detail today. They worked on a compass worksheet that dealt with specific directions.

NO homework

Math:

Grade 1:

We continued to understand sorting, and the different ways on which we sort things. We did examples as a class, and they were able to work on their homework and complete in class. I checked all work to ensure it was done correctly.

NO homework

Grade 2:

We took sorting to the next level and began looking at various terms, such as attributes, sorting core, and patterns. This was mostly a review class since I felt they did fully grasp these terms on Friday. We went over the homework from the weekend together.

NO homework

Spelling

Grade 1:

The grade 1’s were given 6 spelling words today and one bonus word. They had to copy down these words into their spelling notebooks, and write one complete sentence for each word. For homework, they have to finish this activity. For now they can print, but we are aiming to have this done in cursive. There will be a spelling test on Friday, so students should be practicing these words.

Grade 2:

The grade 2’s were given 10 spelling words, and began working with these words in their spelling workbook. The grade 2’s will also have a spelling test on Friday, so they should be practicing these words as well.

Homework:

Spelling Notebook: pg. 5-8

Have a great night!
