The Halloween Parade and classroom Party will take place this Thursday, October 27th. We will be having an earlier lunch this day (12:10-12:50), so that students have time to change into costumes after lunch/before the parade. Students should NOT wear costumes to school. The Parade will take place in the gym from 1:10-1:40. If you would like to watch the parade, please sign in at the office and then head to the gym to find a bleacher seat. Our classroom party will immediately follow. April Dinges, (Meredith's mom) is in charge of this party. Please contact either of us if you would like to help :)
Spelling Review Week
This is a Review Week for Reading & Spelling. Therefore, the words sent home for this week's test should have looked familiar :) Due to no school this Friday, the Spelling Test will take place on Thursday. Good Luck!
Return Conference Forms
Your Second Grader brought home Conference Forms last week in which you need to fill in what times work best for you for Fall Conferences.
Accelerated Reader
Your Second Grader should have an AR book at all times. They get these books in the school library and take the test when they have A) Read the book to themselves AND B) Read the book to someone else (peer or someone older). Check with your student to make sure they have these books and are reading them to prepare for their AR tests :)
Math Timed Tests
The second 5 minute addition test will be sent home this week. As I have told the students, their goal is to do better each week. Next to the scores I have put a Star or a Checkmark. A star means that this is their BEST score :) A checkmark means that they have done better before and I put in parentheses what their best score was. Hold on to these and continue to practice with your student so they can get their facts memorized! I have told them that fingers are NOT their friends when taking a Timed Test :) Practice and Memorization is key!
