Today is Tuesday and it’s music class with Mr. G.
Isabel didn’t mention anything about music class.
Ms. Mila was home sick today, so she hung out on the swings during recess and has finally learned how to pump the swing all by herself. I was excited since she’s never wanted to learn how to do it. She now knows how to!
The class did MAP testing today. They worked on reading. Isabel said she had to spell words like “noodle” and “???” (we couldn’t remember the other word). She spelled both of them correctly. After testing today, Teacher Mrs. A, passed out GUM to chew (just in class)!!!
She enjoyed her hot lunch of spaghetti but it’s not like at home, she said.
Classwork…
The school has started a new computer based math program. Isabel works online doing fun math games for 30 minutes each day after school. She has a user name and password to the site and Teacher Mrs. A can see Isabel’s progress at school.
From what I’ve seen just looking around, the site is awesome! It covers all areas of math, like…
- addition – 1, 2 and 3 digits
- time
- comparing and order
- money
- counting and patterns
- logic
- graphs
- measurements
- geometry
- place value
- fractions
- rounding and estimates
- statistics
- multiplication and
- division
The site is geared toward kids working at their own pace. However the questions are timed, the faster you go the better the reward you get. The site has math for preschoolers up to eighth grade. Along with pre algebra and algebra 1 & 2 students.
Isabel’s second grade skill level has over 221 questions. What an awesome tool to create confidence in math!
