Unit 2: Addition and Subtraction

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I have been busy looking over our next unit for math class.  We just finished a review of 2nd grade standards, and are now moving on to our second unit, which will be on addition and subtraction.  This unit will last until October 6th, and our next unit assessment will be October 7th.  I will have Mrs. Thorum send out a Remind101 to all parents a couple of days before.   I am looking forward to this next unit.  In addition to adding and subtracting (we will eventually work up to 3 digit numbers!), we will also be working on finding the perimeter of a polygon. 

The guided math framework that we are using in our classroom allows for small group instruction and different activities for all students.  The students seem to be really enjoying it! 

Last week, I sent home logon information for Think Through Math.  If you ever have any questions or need help, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I have found it to be a very helpful program, as it is student-centered, and tailors the lessons to where they need additional help. 

For science, we are going to start our fall planting soon.  I have contacted the Gray County Extension, and they are going to partner with us to provide supplies and resources for our garden.  I wish we could do spring planting, and then harvest in the fall.  The only issue with that is that there is no one here consistently in the summer to water the plants! 

As always, please let me know if I can do anything to assist you.  I enjoy having each and every one of your wonderful kiddos, and value the unique qualities they bring to our classroom.  I wish you all a restful weekend!

Warmly,

Mrs. Ebel
