All Aboard with Second Grade!
October 2018
All Aboard!
Second grade has jumped into some wonderful activities and learning in the first month of school! It has been exciting to get to know the students and learning about them!
Blue Sky has already begun with their first visit at the end of September! Students learned what scientists do and made aquatic & terrestrial ecosystems. This month we will be going out in the field with our Blue Sky educators - Oct 31st.
DRA testing will take place during the first week of October. With these assessments, teachers will have a better picture of your child’s guided reading level to inform future instruction. Let you child’s teacher know if you have any questions!
YMCA Learn to Swim program begins this week!!
Tuesday’s - Avula & Mallette
Thursday’s - Jones & Messick
Please make sure you send your child to school with a towel and undergarments in a plastic bag or drawstring backpack. Bathing suits should be worn underneath clothes on the designated day.

Second grade is great!
This year we push hard for literacy gains with your children! We ask that your child reads for at least 20 minutes a day after school! Please let us know if we can help provide reading materials for you and your child.
