This week our mathematician's heads are filled with thoughts of mummies, princesses and bountiful bags of treats! We are going to use that brain-power this week by creating story problems from our solved equations. The Cedars will create two story problems from a solved equation and then create an equation by rolling dice and compose an unsolved story problem for their classmates.
We will spend some time in the computer lab for First in Math. Please share feedback about how this program is working at home, your child's success with it or any questions or comments.
This week we will have goal-setting conferences. Today your Cedar brought home an Initial PLP that included a check-in about where your child is in relation to grade-level math expectations. Cedars were given a baseline assessment that covered fundamentals learned in first grade. We also took a pre-assessment of basic fact fluency to 20. This is a core benchmark for second grade.
I am yet getting to know your child as a mathematician and will continue to communicate both whole group and one-on-one when necessary of any concerns. If the Initial PLP indicated that your Cedar will need additional support, you will receive further information at the conferences.
Of course, I would be happy to meet you and talk more about any concerns or questions you may have.
I feel so fortunate to work with you and your kids.
