Week 28

Change to Homework: As we near the end of the school year, I will be making a slight change to the way I assign homework.  We have completed the content in the first grade core standards for math and we have reached the end of our math curriculumn.  As such, there is no longer homework sheets from our current math book to send home.  For the rest of the school year we will be focusing on reiewing concepts we have already studied as well as begining to cover some of the second grade math curriculum to prepare the girls for next year. For homework I will be sending home a weekly packet on Mondays that will be due on Fridays. These packets will consist of sheets that review concepts we hae previously studied as well as sheets that cover new concepts we will be learning.  They will cover both literacy and math concepts. The packets will contain the about the same amount of weekly homework as the girls have been given earlier this year.

Week 26

A Note About Math:  As we are studying 2 digit addition over the next few weeks, we will be learning a variety of ways to approach 2-digit problems.  Students will be able to choose which addition strategy is easiest for them and use it to solve problems.  They will not be graded on how they solve the problems only on if they are able to find a correct answer. Below is a copy of the family letter that was sent home last week that explains the various methods we will be covering.
