Testing this week!

We will begin Benchmark Testing and AIMSweb assessments this week.  Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast!  We will begin testing each morning around 9:15 a.m.

Welcome new students and families!

If you are reading my blog, you found out today your child is in my classroom!  I am so thrilled to meet my new students and families.  The classroom is just about ready for another great year of learning and exciting adventures in 2nd grade!  See you soon!

Summer is almost over...

Summer is almost over and a new school year is about to begin.  I'm so excited to meet my new students and families!  Please check my blog often for updates.  I am attempting to maintain my blog and the school's new web page.  To view current information on Reading and Spelling please check my school web page.  Twitter will be my new way to connect with parents.  Please click the follow me link on my blog to stay up-to-date on weekly happenings in second grade.  As always, I welcome comments and suggestions to make my website more useful to students and families!
See you soon!

New Schedule

I hope everyone has settled back into a school routine!  Students have adjusted nicely to the new daily schedule!   Just a quick reminder...PE starts at 8:10 a.m. every morning.  Please try and have your child at school by 7:55 a.m. so they can be ready for our morning special. 

Weekly study guides are sent home each week.  I will try and post a study guide on the school website each week.  It is imperative that students study the robust vocabulary and spelling words at home in order to be successful on the weekly test.  Students will take a spelling pretest every Tuesday morning.  If they get 100% on the pretest, they will not take the spelling test on Fridays. 

I am sending home a reminder note concerning parent teacher conferences.  Please read the reminder and return to me as soon as possible.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Have a wonderful week!
