Math 

Math is part of our everyday world. That connection with each unit of study is essential.  When students know where math fits into their lives, it makes more sense.  Each unit of study is designed to shed light on math in the real world.  We use the TSC-adopted math program, Ready Math.  This solid math program is built on a foundation of deeply understanding and applying each concept to the real world. Students utilize a Math Journal to showcase their daily learning skills.  In addition, they also have a math packet for practice.  Worksheets are never my go-to, but skills must be practiced in math.  Those packets are a practice ground.  I have created a host of games for practice each day as well.  Again, students need to practice the skills they are learning.  A solid math foundation allows each child to take the next step in applying their learning skills. 

If your child excels at the second-grade high-ability math curriculum, my goal is to enrich each unit of study.  That will allow me to differentiate for their specific needs.  The addition of Math to Know and game/activity extensions are all a part of this differentiation.
