Thank you,

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.

St. Patrick's Day

Please let me know if you can provide an item from the list below. We will be using the items for a March 17th celebration.


20 small clear cups
3 pints of lime sherbet
2 Sprites
2 boxes of Lucky Charms cereal

Thank you!!!!

Watches and Facts

Please have your child wear his/her watch tomorrow!  We'll be telling time all day long!

Also, it is very important for second graders to be fluent with addition and subtraction facts.
With the larger number addition and subtraction I am seeing that many still don't have facts memorized.
Not knowing facts really slows down the process and causes students to have wrong answers. So, we will start back, tomorrow, with addition and subtraction drill weekly.  Students will hit multiplication and division facts quickly when they enter third grade, so it is very important that we have addition and subtraction SOLID for next year.
Flash card or games work great, however in class we do paper/pencil so you may want to make copies for your child to practice at home.  Xtra Math is also a good resource.

Thanks for you help!!!!
