Students have not studied these words.  I call them "Mystery Words."

No homework means no recess.  Please initial homework,

 letting me know that you've reviewed it with your child.

Homework must be done on notebook paper with a pencil.  Students are to put their name and number in the upper right corner.  They know the procedure for this! Not splashed across the top, please.

Please read the following!!!

MAP testing will be after Spring Break, April 10,11,12.

Practicing for the MAP test is almost impossible since the test contains many skills that have not yet been covered for second graders.  However, I have looked around and found a pretty good resource for us to try, it does cover standards.  I will be sending a sheet home, stapled in the blue folder, for weekly practice.  It would be a great idea for you to sit with your child to help or just to see what potential test items may look like.  The students are to record their score and they may retake the test.  This not for my grading purposes at all!  

Hopefully, this is a resource to help kids improve and raise their spring test scores.  You might find yourself teaching a little :)  We will do a second set in a few weeks which is really more like the MAP test.

Valentine's Day Party- February 14th at 1:30.  Valentine boxes or bags need to be made at home!

There is no need for parents to attend the party.  I will provide a snack, my gift to the kids, and then they will open their cards.  We keep this very low key in second grade!
