Perkiomen Valley second grade students will participate in the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). The CogAT is an assessment of cognitive abilities that includes verbal reasoning, sequences, analogies, and quantitative reasoning. The results will help plan effective programs for your child, as well as serve as a screening tool for further testing to determine eligibility for special programs. Last week a district email was sent to all second grade parents/guardians outlining this information.

The CogATs will be administered to Evergreen 2nd grade students during the week of March 13th except for those possessing an IEP, GIEP, or those who have participated in a multi-disciplinary evaluation in 2022/2023. These students have already participated in similar testing. If you have any questions about the CogAT assessment, please contact your child's counselor or Mrs. Franciosa.

There will be 10 rounds of Bingo with prizes awarded to winners every round. The cost is $5 per person or $20 per family (4 or more people). After registering, you may pay via Venmo or cash/check to the main office. If sending in cash or a check, please clearly write your child/children's name and registration name on the envelope.

The PV Helping Hands Club is at it again! Their newest service project is to help celebrate World Down syndrome day which is on March 21st. We hope to “Rock Your Socks” by collecting BRAND NEW socks for local charities. The collection will take place from March 13-21, 2023.

World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) on March 21st is a global day of celebration and awareness that has been observed by the United Nations since 2012. Its purpose is to educate the world on what Down syndrome is and how individuals with Down syndrome need to be valued in their communities.

Why do people wear colorful and cool socks on World Down Syndrome Day?

In 2013, the theme of wearing colorful socks was initiated to raise awareness. Over time it has also been promoted as “Rock Your Socks” day. The idea was created because chromosomes are shaped “like little socks” and people with Down syndrome have a third twenty-first chromosome (hence the date, 3/21).

So let’s help others by donating a pair of new socks (any size) for those in need. Look for donation bins in the lobby beginning next Monday, March 13.

Reading: We have become actors and actresses with our drama/play unit. We are learning the difference between the different genres. We are continuing to learn story elements to help us understand each story, and what the authors of these stories are telling us. We are pulling out the setting, theme, the initiating conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution to these stories. We are becoming quite the storytellers of third grade!

Writing: Third grade has been using more and more figurative language within our writing pieces. Currently we are working on narratives. In it, the students will be using paragraphs, a variety of sentence structures, and of course, proper punctuation and grammar. We certainly have come a long way from September!

Math: Our students just finished working on angles (right, acute, and obtuse) and perpendicular, intersecting, and parallel lines. We are mastering the art of using rulers to extend our lines while working on identifying aspects of different shapes. We are becoming quite the mathematicians!!

Science/Social Studies: Third grade became electricians with creating circuit boards and understanding series and parallel circuits. They explored conductors and insulators by testing objects. We had an electrifying time!!

Mrs. Nyce’s class has been learning about the diversity of cultures in the United States. We have been learning about how food, language, holidays, traditions, and arts help show the many cultures that we see in the United States.

PV Power Packs is a weekend food program for students experiencing food insecurity.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) approved the use of Flexible Instructional Days (FID) as an alternate form of instruction in response to inclement weather or other emergencies. On a FID day, instruction will be virtual. FID assist schools in meeting the required 180 student days. PA Schools may use up to five (5) FID per school year - in PVSD, we will utilize FID when all 3 inclement weather days built into the district calendar are used.
