Week of January 8, 2010 to January 12, 2010

We got the Edmark Reading Program and my first graders are working hard using this program. They are also using their D'Nealian Workbooks to improve their letter identification and handwriting skills.

My third, fourth, and fifth graders are using the Multisensory Grammar program this week to learn about subjects and predicates. They are also using the 4-Square Writing Method to write essays in class. In math, my third and fourth graders are working on subtraction, while my fifth graders are focusing on place value.

My 7th graders are reviewing grammar skills. They also proofreading and writing using different writing prompts. Their writing test is next month!!!

On Friday we will be doing an activity for President's Day. There is no school on Monday!

February 1, 2010-February 5, 2010

This week we've been learning sight words! We've made a sight word ladder and we've also been using a great reading program called Edmark. My kids are really being successful with these activities.

In math we're working on subtraction! This is a difficult concept, but we're getting it!

My middle school reading classes are about to begin the book Holes by Louis Sacher - a great book by a great author!
