We did reading today.  We read with ourselves and read to someone else.

This week Power Words:  We are done the Power Words! Please keep practicing the power list you were given at home for the rest of the school year.  We will have a spelling/reading quiz of half the words tomorrow and the other half next week.  We will keep practicing all of the power words for the rest of the school year.

Remember Grade 2’s should know how to read and spell the words.  And the Grade 1’s should know how to read the words.

We had gym and Music today.  Please share what you did today.

In Writing, we did Free Choice writing.  Please share with your parents what you wrote about in your writing books today.

In Math, we practiced Doubles up to 9+9.  Please share with your parents what pattern we saw with the sums (answers) of the doubles. HINT: it’s about skip counting.  Another HINT: Are the sums (answers) odd or even?!
