Hi Core 2 Parents,
I wanted to let you know about an exciting math development in Core 2! I will be giving a short workshop on this at our upcoming Work Journal meetings (April 22nd and 24th: 2-2:50pm), but I wanted to give you a head start as it will impact your home school teaching the first week back after Spring Break. Starting April 21st, I will be switching over to using a math curriculum and encouraging parents to use the same curriculum at home. I have created a plan where each week I cover certain lessons at school, and parents are asked to cover other lessons at home. I am hoping this leads to more continuity for our students as they build these fundamental math skills. I know that this is a change, and I expect that there will be aspects of this that will take some figuring out, so please be patient, and let me know your thoughts. I will be using a fabulous free online curriculum that is put out by the state of Georgia: https://www.georgiastandards.org/common-core/pages/math-k-5.aspx For the last part of this year we will be tackling repeated addition, in order to build the skills needed to move towards multiplication. This lines up perfectly with our new curriculum’s Second Grade, Unit 6: https://www.georgiastandards.org/Common-Core/Common%20Core%20Frameworks/CCGPS_Math_2_Unit6FrameworkSE.pdf I would suggest reading the first 14 pages of this unit, as that will give you a nice overview of what we will be covering. The way it will work is that each week I will teach certain Tasks (lessons) and you will teach certain Tasks. Below you will find a button that leads you to the Math Curriculum Schedule. I will also be giving you guidance on how to adapt these lessons for home school (rather than the classroom) and additional word problems and math games as we go through the unit. Please take some time to explore the new curriculum and plan your first Task (Task 3). Please note that most of the Tasks take more than one day to complete, as they have several parts. Please plan to come to our next Work Journal meeting, and bring any questions that you have about the new math curriculum! Thanks, and have a great Spring Break! Robin Comments are closed.
