Greetings Families!  

Students did a Fantastic job staying focused  and on task  during  (CogAT) testing this week.  Next week, second  grade students will  be administered  the Iowa Assessments on Tuesday,  October 30th  and Wednesday, October 31st.     The Iowa Test is designed to assess student achievement and progress.   Student should get a good night's  rest to make testing go smoothly.    
   
Report cards will be distributed on Thursday, November 1st.   Please sign and return the cover.  The report card should be kept at home.      


Students will  have a reading story for the week.  Assessments  for reading comprehension and vocabulary will be given on Thursdays.  Students are required to read each  test question independently (unless they have an IEP). Therefore, I encourage you to  speak to your child about taking their time and reading each question carefully.   They are allowed to use their book when answering their reading comprehension questions. 

Have a Fantastic Weekend!
