BUSY

We have been really busy! The school started MAP testing this week and this test is a bit different than what the second graders saw in first grade.  We do 4 tests; reading, math, English and science. In first grade they only did math and reading.  Also, this test does not read to them.  Last year, they were able to use the headphones and have things read to them. As of now, we have done the math and reading portions and they seem to be doing well!

Last week, we had Unity Day!  It was so much fun! The group of kids I had enjoyed themselves and my second graders came back to me exhausted, but happy!

Tomorrow, we have our Unit 1 Fundations test.  Next week, I will send home the resource list for unit 2, so you can work at home.

Thank you so much for completing the math homework I have been sending home.  We have started a new program this year and it makes all of us look at math differently.  The more practice they can get at home, the better!

Next week, we will have the Umbrellas for Peace parade! It will begin at 9 a.m. and it will go through town.  We would love for you to come see us. Click here for a link to Mrs. Gocken's page.

Finally... we are starting a letter writing unit.  Be on the lookout for our Flat Stanley project.  It should come home in folders next week!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks...
