I am so very proud to see the effort our students are = giving as they continue to master skills on grade level and above!   Way to Go Second Grade!

This week our students have the opportunity to show th= eir knowledge of mathematics as they are assessed on the Third Qua= rter Second Grade State Mathem= atics Component.  The following = skills will be assessed:  Number Sense through 999, Counting Mixed Coins, Renaming Numbers, Estimation, Story Problems, Place Value, Fractions, Two to Three Digit Addition and Subtracti= on, Telling Time, Venn diagrams, and Pictographs.

  • We plan to assess skills a few a= t a time each morning this week and possibly Monday as well.  Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest each evening and a good breakfast each morning.  Thank You!

 

We are reviewing phonics skills from last week due to a hurried schedule during that time.  By this time you have seen the same group of skills come home for practice during the evening.  = We will definitely assess students on Friday of this week (3-23-12) with spell= ing tests.   During flex grou= ps many students are experiencing practice time with comprehension as w= ell.
