The kids did a great job on today's spelling pretest!  Eight kids passed today's test and will take the challenge test on Wednesday!  In reading today, we looked at this week's story called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.  In math, we learned how to add on to a number to solve a problem.  This is just another strategy that we can use to solve an equation.  We will working on this strategy for a few days.  There will be a sub in our classroom tomorrow, but I will be in the building as the second grade teachers have an all-day meeting!

We had a great time today during our 100th Day reading party.  We spent some time reading independently and with a partner.  We also listened and watched a read aloud called A Bad Case of the Stripes on the SMARTBoard. Next week, we will be back into our normal routine with reading and spelling.  Our story for next week is called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.  We will be talking about cause and effect throughout the week.

Please remember to be working with your child on his or her Valentine's Day box as they should be sent to school on Friday, February 9!

We are still working hard on two and three digit subtraction!  Most of the kids are doing a great job!  In reading, we have had a review week this week.  We have spent time reviewing lots of different concepts from the last unit in reading and spelling.  Don't forget to be working on your Valentine's box at home!
