*All newsletter dates are tentative, and you will be notified if dates

change. Thank you for your understanding!

We have had a wonderful start to second grade!
Thank you to those of you who returned back to school
paperwork and extra supplies. Each Friday I will send home
a newsletter with the skills we will be covering the
following week.
ou will notice in !"pcoming Events# that we will be
taking a practice test for our story next week. That is
because we are using this opportunity to model responses
and show students how to re$read and look back in the text
to find answers. These will be sent home with your child.
%lease be sure to take the time to go over it with them&
discuss their answers& ask them 'uestions& etc. This will be
a great tool to help prepare your child for our upcoming
reading assessments.
(s always& if you have 'uestions or concerns& please
do not hesitate to call or email. We are here for you!
Thanks&
Allyson Houlton
