We finished off our first week strong! I am so impressed with these 2nd graders! They have really settled into our routines and procedures well.
We
had our first memory work test today. I
am very understanding when it comes to memory work--I do not grade spelling,
and I am fairly fluent in 2nd grade phonetic spelling. ;) It is not meant to be high-stress--as long as
they show that they know the Bible verse, I am happy.
They
also had their first art class with Miss Kane.
Ask them what they did!
The
students also took a math placement test today. This test is low-key and serves to give me an
idea of where the students are starting the year in their knowledge of math and
its vocabulary.
After
silent reading and finishing up STAR tests, we did a practice AR quiz. Next week the students will get a bookmark
with their AR levels on it to help them pick out books that will be easy enough
for them to read independently without getting frustrated, while still
challenging enough to help them continue to grow as readers. Each week the students will find a book in
their AR levels to read for comprehension, then they'll take an AR quiz on it.
Have
a blessed, restful weekend!
