Important Dates and A Peek At the Week
Happy Friday!
Next week is an A week.
REFLEX MATH - Students need to complete 60 minutes of Reflex Math each week. Students who complete their Reflex Math for the week will be able to participate in FUN FRIDAY! Students who do not complete their Reflex Math will need to work on addition/subtraction facts for half of their Fun Friday. The first time Reflex Math will be checked in on Friday, September 20th. Any Reflex Math you do over the weekend will count towards the Friday, September 20th check.
Unit 1 Math Assessment - The first Math Test will be on Wednesday, September 18th. Unit 1 focused on Number Sense. Students need to know odd and even numbers and be able to explain why they are odd or even. They need to know ordinal position, skip counting forward and backward, and growing and extending patterns. There will not be a study guide sent home for math. Please use the homework assignments to review the concepts covered.
Science Experiments
The students really enjoyed practicing the scientific method with our two science experiments this week. We did a Leak Proof Bag Experiment and also a Walking Water Experiment. Take a look at the pictures below.
DRA and PALS
Fall Reading Testing will continue in second grade.
The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) is a standardized reading test used to determine a student's instructional level in reading. The DRA is administered individually to students by teachers. Students read a selection (or selections) and then make predictions, retell verbally or complete a written summary. Depending on the level, some students will need to describe their favorite part, the most important part, and/or the author's message.
The Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) is a proactive and preventive screening measure that assists teachers in providing differentiated, targeted instruction to meet your child's needs.
Library Schedule
Tuesday A Week (1 hour)
Friday B Week (30 minutes)
Next week is an A Week, so please have students return library
books Tuesday morning.
