Listening Center!

Hi Friends,

I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed, so I just created a DonorsChoose.org classroom request.

Listening Center! 

http://www.donorschoose.org/project/listening-center/1862437/?rf=email-system-2016-01-proposal_approve-teacher_1524541&challengeid=269395&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proposal_approve&utm_swu=4252

In return, you'll get awesome photos of your gift in action and our heartfelt thanks.

Thank you so much,
Violet

P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help my students, please pass this along!

Pick-up Reminder

After school groups are now being sent to the MPS at 3:15. If you pick up your student, please be here at 3:15 p.m. on regular days and 1 p.m. on minimum days so that I can begin tutoring sooner!

Thank you for your help!

Chp. 4 Math Tests

Chapter 5, using bar modeling for addition and subtraction, was taught by grade 2 this year for the first time. It has not been taught in the past. The chapter was difficult for grade 2 students across all three classes. I performed a reteach after the test was taken. This reteach opportunity offered 8 extra points on the test.

The second grade team lead and I have discussed revising how the material is taught next year, as students may not be developmentally prepared for the chapter in its entirety. We believe a better approach is to work on the components in conjunction with addition and subtraction throughout the year to better prepare students for their future with the Singapore model.

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you!
