Hello Families!

We have our first Spelling Test, Reading Quick Check, and Grammar Quick Check today. A Quick Check is a quiz over the skill(s) that we worked on this week. My goal is to check and send home these papers the same day, but I will be sending home this week’s tests on Monday.

You child will be coming home today with their work from this week. If your child has any unfinished work, it will be going home with them today to complete and return on Monday. Students are given ample amount of time to complete independent work. They are also given extra time throughout the day to complete their unfinished work.

2nd Grade is much different than kindergarten and 1st Grade.  Students are expected to complete much work independently.  Our curriculum also changes from learning to read to reading to learn.  These changes bring much more independence in the classroom. We have been practicing this week completing our independent work, along with following multi-step directions.  Please make sure that your child is completing independent task at home, like chores, getting themselves ready, etc. This will make independence much easier in the classroom.

Important Dates:
