Students are doing a great job learning the routines. We are beginning to get more learning done each day.
The second spelling list and phonogram list went home yesterday. Today I will send home math papers that have concepts they will be tested on tomorrow. Normally these will come home on Tuesdays, but it didn't work out this week. We have been practicing these concepts in class so just a few minutes of review should help them for tomorrow.
I will also be sending home pictures today so look for those in backpacks.
Many of you informed me of how your volunteer availability. Soon I will be sending home exactly what is needed in the classroom and you can let me know what works for you.
Right now we are practicing making ten for our facts. We are practicing modeling numbers using tens and ones. Students learned a new way to model those today. If you ask them how to show you a number like 37, they should be able to draw the model for you. We talked about how 2nd and 3rd graders use models like this to help them see the numbers.
Next Monday the 11th reading homework will come home.
I'm excited about this year.
