9 days in, already?

Just a few reminders or tips...

1. We are only 9 days in, last weeks spelling list was a practice week and I was pleased by how well the kids handled "test day"! 

2. Each week the FastFacts will change. Goal is to know all single digit addition facts by memory. Which 2nd grade has decided that that rate is 90 correct in 5 minutes. 

3. We are still really working on routines, AR will begiin this week. But please use technology options too, www.spellingcity.com, www.raz-kids.com, and www.ixl.com.  I'll let you know when FASTFACTS is up and working. 

4. It is our school policy to send graded work home every two weeks. My goal is to start sending that home next Monday with last and this weeks spelling, AR Reports and FastFacts quizzes. Writing takes longer so that will be included as writing pieces are finished. 

5. Guided instruction begins soon. The kids have been practicing center Rotations so I can better provide small group ability based instruction. Spelling words are not ability based. They are 2nd grade appropriate words from our Words their Way curriculm, and occasionally I'll add some social studies or science content words as appropriate. 

 Thanks for your support.
