The first few weeks...

Things are starting to come along in our class.  Students are starting to adapt to the routines and procedures of our classroom.  We are working hard each day.

We covered a short graphing unit in math.  Students were very good at creating graphs.  They struggled with trying to answer questions about the graph.  They did very well with the simple interpreting questions, but struggled when it came time to compare.  We worked hard on vocabulary like combined, difference, more than, less than, and how many more.  We will continue to work on this throughout the year.

Up next, in math, is time.  Students should all be very familiar with time to the hour and half hour.  If you see that your student is struggling with this, please practice at home.  Today we started looking at time to the five minutes.  This was very hard for students who could not count by fives.  See if your child can count by 5's to 100. 

Thanks for all of your hard work at home.  If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime.  You have great kids.  Thanks for letting me get to know them.
