2^nd Grade News

Spelling Test

Please note that since we do not have school Friday, our spelling test will be on Thursday this week.

Celebrating Halloween

Just a reminder, that in place of a class Halloween party, 2^nd grade will be participating in a classroom activity rotation with kindergarten, 1^st, 3^rd, and 4^th grades on Thursday, Oct. 27^th. Therefore, please do not send in any candy or snacks with your child to share with classmates. Thank you.

Parent – Teacher Conferences

If you cannot make it to conferences this week for some reason, please let me know in some way (a short note in the home-school folder, an email, a phone call to the school office) so that we can work something else out.   

AR Update

An individualized AR update for each student is also being sent home today. It states the student’s AR goal results for the 1^st nine weeks and Today At the beginning of this month I sent home information which explained the AR (Accelerated Reader) program and provided your child’s AR reading level and AR goal for the 1^st nine weeks. For the most part students have been very eager and enthusiastic about participating in the program. This is great; however, I am trying to make sure students are eager and enthusiastic about reading, not just about reaching the AR goal. My main concern is that students are taking time each day to read independently and that they comprehend what they are reading.
