Mid-Year MAP Testing

The first week in February, all 2nd grade students will be taking the Reading MAP assessment and the Math MAP assessment. During this time, students will be signing on to our live google meet every morning from 8:15 to 8:45 for Morning Meeting and Read Aloud. At 8:45, your child will either stay on the computer if it’s their testing day, or log off and have an asynchronous day of work. However, there WILL BE reading groups in the afternoon that week. Please look for an email letting you know what days your child will be testing. Each student will be testing 2 different days during that first week of February. 

Basic Addition and Subtraction Timed Drills

We will be starting timed math drills in February. Students will be given 5 minutes to complete as many addition and subtraction problems as they can. There are a total of 50 problems on the paper. Please keep in mind, we do not expect students to reach this goal of completing 50 problems until the end of 2^nd grade. This is a standard we will be working towards. As the year progresses, students become more fluent with their basic facts and more comfortable with the idea that they are being timed and their scores improve so please do not worry if your child is not completing them. These timed drills are found in their silver folder that was given to them at the supply pick-up. Students should not be completing these on their own. 

Picture Day

Picture Day is scheduled for January 27th and January 28th from 8:00am to 2:00pm. A sign up genius was sent out for you to pick a day and time.
