NOVEMBER SKIP COUNTING! Counting by 5's!
11/1/17: Place Value
We started our new Chapter this week! Students will be focusing on place value for the next couple weeks. It is imperative that we learn the meaning behind our number places so that students get a true understanding of the value a number can have. Try to quiz your child at home! Ask them to identify the digit, the place, and the digit's value! :-) You can follow the below link to a great set of videos and practice activities from Kahn Academy!
10/12/17: Skip Counting Begins! Let the Fact Fluency Flow!
Recently, I sent home a letter introducing our 2nd grade skip counting challenge. Our goal for the year is to reach mastery of all skip counting groups by May. This practice is CRUCIAL for mastery of multiplication and division skills. PLEASE be sure to continuously practice at home.
In addition to skip counting practice, I will soon be sending home flash cards for students who need to be working diligently on mastering their addition and subtraction fact fluency to enhance their mental math skills.
I greatly appreciate all of your help and support. Below is our first skip counting video!

Chapter: 1
|
This week your children began their first chapter of new material in their math textbook! The first several weeks they worked on review pages to make sure they were ready to go for new material and I must say... They flew through and did wonderful! As their regular chapters continue, they will receive periodic quizzes to check their progress and understanding of the new material. These are GREAT study tools for them as they will be a very good indicator as to what to expect on the chapter test. Both quizzes and tests will be percentage grades in the grade book so it is important that they practice often and take their work seriously so that they learn the material thoroughly. Homework and classwork will also be participation based grading.
8/23/17: Math reviews began today!
Students began working out of their math textbooks today with some in class reviews of their 1st grade concepts. This review will continue through to next week as well to make sure everyone is ready for new material to begin!
