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.   

Second Grade students will take the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) test on Tuesday  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. 

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.  

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  soon.
