WELCOME SECOND GRADE

The Jog-a-long was fun and a success.  Thanks to you parents and students for giving such great effort.  The bookfair was wonderful as well.  Hope you have lots of books for finishing this year and reading into the summer.  IT IS NOW MAY.  One month of school left.  We have lots of fun yet to happen and still learning left to do.  Here are some things to be aware of:

We will not be testing on stories or spelling for the rest of the school year.  We will be doing some short comprehension testing, but no more spelling tests.  We will continue to have math and reading homework through May 21.

This week and next are testing weeks.  We will be ARK testing on Thursday (religious knowledge), and IRI testing next Monday (fluency testing).  We will not be taking MAP tests like we did last year and some this last fall.  From now on the MAP testing will begin in 3rd grade.

Friday May 14, we will join the first grade on a field trip to Lake Walcott.  More information will be forthcoming.  We will need drivers to take us there and spend the day with us.  We will leave in the morning and not return until later in the school day.  If you are available to spend the day and have all the driver's suff in, please let me know.  It is the same day as the Spring Sing.  It will be a busy day.

Spring Sing has been scheduled for May 14 at 6:30 pm at Minico High School. You can't miss that.

Our Class plays will be performed on May 20 in the lunch hall for parents and family.  We will begin between 1:00 and 1:15 pm  and should last till 2:15 or 2:30 pm.  Be sure to set aside that time to join us.

In the fall I promised the children that whoever had 45 AR points at the end of the year would get a milkshake and playtime in the park.  Be sure to help your child read and keep collecting those AR points.

Please KEEP READING.  It makes a big difference.  Read, Read, Read.

Hope you have a blessed week.  

God Bless You,

Mrs. Packham
