NWEA Testing
This week students in our classroom wrapped up NWEA testing for reading and mathematics. Both tests assess your child's strengths and weaknesses in reading and math. It also helps me to target areas that need extra attention and address any needs where your child might be struggling. We will do this again in December and towards the end of the school year to measure growth of each student. In between tests, I will be doing informal assessing to assure students are progressing appropriately through second grade reaching their potential...and even beyond! 

Reminders!
Please make sure your child has a pair of PE shoes to keep at school.
We have PE Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.

Please help your child to remember a healthy snack for the school day.
Students may have ONE snack in the morning and ONE snack in the afternoon.
*Please note we do have a peanut allergy in our classroom

The students are doing an awesome job on remembering their communicators, Friday folders, and turning in their homework. Routines are established and students are doing a fantastic job!!
On Monday, students will be receiving a new homework packet with a new addition of spelling (more info to come with spelling). We will also be starting Mad Minutes, which i'm sure you have all seen on the homework schedules. Look for more on Mad Minutes with the homework on Monday.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Picture Day
October 2
Coming home in your child's communicator is a picture day form. If you would like school pictures for your child this year, please fill out the form by selecting the preferred package and send in with the corresponding amount. Students may bring this in any day up until picture day on Friday, Oct. 2.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
