Classroom News and Reminders
End of Year Reading and Math Assessments: This coming week we will begin end of year assessments. This will include STAR reading and math, oral fluency reading, and paper and pencil math. Based on these assessments, as well as progress reports, summer school invites will be sent home soon.
Reading Homework- Read 15-20 minutes. Fluency is something I have been looking at recently will all the students, how many words per minute correct a student can read. The goal for 2nd grade is 113. Each night when your child is reading, stop and listen to them, are they reading with expression (or do they sound like a robot?), do they stop for punctuation (or read right on through it?) and research shows reading the same text a few time is okay.
Spelling Homework- Nightly assignment (see Green Folder for details)
END OF THE YEAR!!!??
