So, after 4 weeks of each 2nd grade teacher doing their own homework system, the team has decided to work together and make 1 packet! However, I am the only one (right now) who prints out the Reading A-Z books with the worksheets and quizzes for homework. I have decided that the packet going home this week (4 pages of math, 4 grammar activities, the spelling tic-tac-toe, and Reading A-Z book and worksheets) will all last for 2 weeks. Yes, 1 packet for 14 days! The other classes are a week behind us in spelling so the words sent home this week will not be tested until THURSDAY, September 20th! We will also be taking a social studies test and another math "place value" test on the 20th. The social studies test is almost all vocabulary usage, fill-in the blank style. The children did fairly well on the math test friday, but we really need a little more work on number value, skip counting by 10s and we will begin skip counting (from any number) by 5s.
We will be working on these skills a lot this week:
1.skip counting by 5s, 10s, and 100s within 0-1000, and Place Value
2. Writing a narrative from beginning (rough draft)- to publishing it.
3 we have a visitor from the Cobb County Safety Village this Monday, and our field trip next Monday.
4. Creek and Cherokee Native Americans and Sequoyah's impact on the Cherokee lifestyle!
Reading just right books on the students level with good fluency and comprehension.
Thanks, and have a great week!
Do you need any parent chaperone's for the field trip to the Safety Village next Monday? Also, just to verify, the book reports in the Butterfly format are due this Friday, correct?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking... I do not need help on the field trip Monday. The book reports are due Monday or Tuesday.
DeleteDo they have to do an oral book report for this as well?
ReplyDeleteThey do share the posters with the class. I am not sure if I'd say its a "formal oral book report". I ask the kids a couple questions that refer to what they remember or like about the book. The 2 that shared today were able to either read the poster, or just tell us what they really remember from their book.
