A great beginning
Curriculum Corner
Literacy
These may include, but are not limited to:
* Beginning of the year writing assessment
* Spelling/phonics assessment
* Sight word recognition
* Reading comprehension
* Oral reading fluency assessment
As your child's lead learner conducts these assessments, we will do our best to communicate the results of these to you in a timely manner through Fresh Grade.
Along with beginning of the year assessments, the learners have listened to many different enriching pieces of children's literature that build community and set a positive tone for the year.
Math
Starting this week, your child is building their math brain through the use of number talks. They are learning how to use mental math to complete various computations with their peers. Want to learn more about number talks? Click here to read on.
Also this week, children have been meeting with their lead learner in some version of a morning meeting that involves a math routine to help them review 2nd grade math standards on a daily basis. These include place value, time, coins, adding/subtracting, etc.
* Note: beginning of the year math assessment will take place 8/23-8/26
Upcoming math standards:
2.OA.3 - Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.
Video to practice this standard
2.NBT.2 - Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

Meet Miss Knowles
Meet Miss Heather Knowles!
Hello! My name is Heather Knowles and I am so thrilled to help teach your sweet children. I am a student at Auburn University at Montgomery and I graduate December 2016. A few things that I love are children, dance and spending time with family. Although my passion is to teach children, I have another passion of dance. I danced from age 5-22. I am from Kennesaw, GA and I moved to Alabama to pursue my education degree because AUM was a great fit for me! I am excited to see what this year brings to all of us! I am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you.
