Note regarding RtI time -  
Individual classroom teachers are responsible for the teaching of reading, math, and writing skills to their own classroom students.  During the 30 min. RtI time students divide up into various groups and go to get some additional reading, math, or writing instruction or skill reinforcement.                          


Language -      We are discussing handwriting expectations and letter formations.  The students are discussing declarative and interrogative sentences.  This week we are continuing work on synonyms and antonyms.

Math -   The students are working on number sense and patterns.  We are also discussing math facts and practicing mental math.  We are continuing to work in our math journals wtih some problem solving.
