The word family taught this week is the -uck family. We brainstormed words such as truck, luck, tuck, struck, woodchuck, duck, etc... Please practice these words with your child this week.

New sight words this week are as follows:

Grade 2's - some, spring, small, until

Grade 1's - book, computer

Don't forget to do your home reading every night. It is encouraged to take the same book home several nights in a row to practice fluency, especially at the higher levels. Please also ensure that your child brings his/her home reading book back to school everyday.

Sometime this week your child will be bringing home the contents of their Math duotang. All of the work in it is work done to date. So far we have worked on the following concepts: Review of numbers, Combinations of 9, 10, 11 and 12, Patterns, Missing addends, Place Value to 100 (The grade 2 students did counting to 200). Please do not be concerned if all of the pages are not complete. We do quite a bit of oral and group work in Math and I don't always require all of the written work to be completed during the math period. You will know if your child's math page is complete because the top right hand corner of the page will be cut.


Have a great evening!
Mrs. G
