Important Information and A Peek At Our Week

Happy Friday!

Word Study

On Monday, students will be put into Word Study groups based on what patterns/features they need to work on. Words will be introduced on Monday and a copy of the words will be sent home in their HW folder. Please practice sorting these words with your child and challenging them with other words that would fit the same pattern. There will be no actual Word Study homework, all activities will be worked on in school everyday. Students will have the same words for 2 week and will then be quizzed on those words on Friday.

Timed Drills


On Monday, students will be given their first timed drill in math. There will be a mixture of 50 addition and subtraction problems. Students will have 5 minutes to answer as many as possible. We do not expect students to master this skill until the end of 2nd grade and will be working on it all year long. If over the next few weeks/month,  you see your child struggling with their facts, please work on speed and fluency with math facts at home as well. Reflex Math and Flash Cards are a great way to practice!
