Language Arts: 

We have practiced writing uppercase H & K.  We have used wood pieces and our slate boards to practice.  We also worked on the word  at.   We have been focusing on telling stories based on a moment in time.  It is called a small moment story.  During Readers Workshop we learned that readers have fun reading privately and with a partner.   Ask your student what they learned about in there books this week.

Math:

We have begun working with a computer program iReady.  The students practiced logging in and logging out.  They also worked on there first "just right" lesson.  They also have been working on counting starting at a number other than 1.
