ABC's & 123'sReading: Our guided reading groups are going well. This method of teaching reading is a wonderful way for me to learn about the individual needs of each student so that I can better meet their needs. We are working on several different reading strategies right now including using our pictures as clues, sounding out the words looking at the letters from left to right, looking for small word chunks we recognize inside of words we don't know, and skipping the word we can't figure out and reading the rest of the sentence to see if the context of the sentence helps us decode the word. Please use these strategies at home to help your child decode unfamiliar words.
Math: We have learned several different addition strategies now and I have encouraged the students to use the strategy that works best for them. Some of the addition strategies we have learned include drawing pictures, using manipulatives, counting on, and using a number line. We have also been reading word problems and learning how to find the important information in them and then deciding how to solve them.
