Two weeks down! The children have been working so hard to figure out our procedures and routines and they are doing a pretty good job. Areas where we still need a lot of work is waiting our turn and listening to directions the first time they are given. You can imagine how challenging it can get when I have to repeat a message over and over! Please help me from your side by practicing with your child how to actively listen and pay attention as soon as a message is given by a teacher...thanks in advance for your support as we partner together this year. Overall, things are off to a great start.
We are working through an overview in Math and reviewing some basic topics. They are ready to move faster though and I'm excited to move forward. We will alternate between Science and Social Studies this year. This week we spent a little time discussing the Scientific Method - the 2nd grade was thrilled to hear they were learning some of the same words the 5th and 6th graders were learning in Science this week! Also, our first Spelling test went very well...thanks for preparing them.
Enjoy the day off on Monday and I'll be glad to see the children bright and early Tuesday morning, ready for another week of 2nd grade. Please be sure to email me with any questions or concerns at mlbuster@torahacademy.org
