Hello Parents,
This school year is flying bye. We just recently took the NWEA assessment that measures student growth throughout the school year. The class as a whole did amazing as they improved on average 10 points from this past Winter. That is an amazing result. Encourage your child to keep reading at home and doing their homework.
ONLINE SCHOOL WORK IS AVAILABLE STARTING NOW THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SUMMER!
Our students have been working online at least a couple hours per week in school. These programs are also available for them at home via a computer, notebook, or smartphone. Students can work on Math at www.IXL.com. This is a great program to practice their math skills in all areas. Students can also work on their reading skills at www.raz-kids.com. Students can practice their reading skills by reading text and answering questions about the text. This program is self paced and students can advance levels.
We will be begin final end of year testing soon. It is important that your child is well rested and comes to school everyday. They are learning new skills everyday to prepare them for 3rd grade.
2ND GRADE FIELD TRIP TO THE AIR ZOO
June 8th will be the date of this year's field trip for 2nd grade. Your child will have the opportunity to explore all the airplanes of the past and have the opportunity to virtually fly an airplane. They will also be able to enjoy some fun amusement rides within the facility. There will be a small charge for each student to cover the cost of transportation. Adults are welcome to chaperone, but will have to pay $8 for entrance into the Air Zoo. Look for a field trip permission slip coming home soon.
