Hello Parents! We have had a fabulous four day week! We started Eureka math squared and our morning Montessori work times. The students are doing great learning to work independently. So far we are not using any materials because we are reviewing first grade work. I am finished assessing phonics and need to assess reading levels next week. Once completed I hope to start reading groups and begin sending home book bags with appropriate leveled books.

Today you are getting an extra math book sent home. We are adjusting to the pacing and work load of second grade however the apply math books seem to be a lot of work after we already spent an hour on the lesson. I am sending them home in case you would like any supplemental things. The students can do them if they would like. It is not required. It is just for extra or a reference. We completed Eureka math lesson 1-4 this week.

Our handwriting books have not arrived yet but are on their way. We will have print in the first half of the year and cursive in the second half. Since they are not here yet we started with just some simple pages I already had.

From now on I will be spot checking planners! 🙂 I do not have time each morning to check but I hope you will be able to continue signing each night. I am hoping to only post each Friday with updates. Most will have information in their planners nightly.

We have begun our star jar for class rewards and are up to 6 compliments in the hallway and classroom! When our jar gets full we will have donuts & bagels together for breakfast one morning. 🙂

Just a quick note that not all math will be corrected. I walk around during math and take notes of who is doing it correct and incorrect. That is how I will pull math groups in the afternoons. If you see something incorrect you can also go over it that night with your child.

Request- We have had lots of spills! I bought a paper towel holder and a couple to start us off. If anyone can donate a roll of paper towels we would be grateful!

Have a great weekend! <3
