Hello families! We are in the home stretch of second grade. I must admit, I am already feeling sad about letting this group go to third grade! While we only have a little time left, there is still so much learning to do! See the right sidebar to see what we are learning right now.
MAP testing- Please note the days will participate in the spring MAP tests. Try to avoid any appointments or early pick ups/late drop offs on these days- thank you!
*Tues May 15 9-10am
*Thurs. May 17 1:30-2:30pm
*Fri. May 18 11-12am
Author Visit- Mike Thalor, author of humorous children's books including the _____ from the Black Lagoon series, will be visiting our school on Mon. May 7. In the Friday folder, there is a information packet with an order sheet if you are interested in purchasing a book to be signed by the author.
Poem in my Pocket- The poem your child brought home in his/her reading bag is their one of their favorite poems. On Fri. Apr. 27, second grade will have Poem in My Pocket Day. The kids will all carry a copy of their poem in their pocket and wear a special sticker. Teachers will stop them in halls, lunchroom, playground, etc and ask the kids to read their poems. Please practice the poem with your child so he/she is ready to read the poem fluently on Friday.
Mark your calendars!
