Hooray! Our first week of school was fun and exciting. Students participated in a variety of activities to help make their second grade experience a success. Throughout the week they engaged in community building activities, met new friends, learned new rules and procedures, and began to work on basic second grade skills. I am looking forward to having to a fantastic year with your child.
You should check your child's book bag each Thursday for their blue communication folder. Please read and complete all forms. Folders should be returned each Friday. If you need additional time with your child's folder, please let me know.
Second Grade students will take the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) test on Wednesday and Thursday. This is a computerized test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.
The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) testing will also be given. It is an individually administered assessment of a child's reading capabilities. It is a tool to be used by instructors to identify a students reading level, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.
Mrs. Leila Dixon has joined our class. Mrs. Dixon will serve as our Foster Grandparent.
Please ensure that you child has a pair of headphones. We will begin using them next week.
