Thank
you for your understanding!
We are continuing to work hard in the second grade.
Please continue to practice the skills we have been working
on in school at home with your child. eviewing the work in
the red folder will help keep you up to date with your child!s
progress. Please notice your child!s area"s# of focus and
provide e$tra practice at home. We appreciate all you do in
our combined effort to make this a successful year for your
child.
%e$t Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be on a
different daily schedule because &
nd
grade students will be
taking an 'T( Assessment. This is not an assessment that
can be practiced at home, nor is it an assessment that will
be counted for a grade. (t is another informative tool that
we use to help guide our instruction. We are strongly
encouraging attendance on these two days because the
make)up day is Thursday, which will be during our *all Party.
As always, if you have +uestions or concerns, please
do not hesitate to call or email. We are here for you!
Thanks
Allyson Houlton
