Second Grade Scoop

It is hard to believe that we are down to our final weeks of the ’18-’19 school year! Many fun activities will keep us busy these next couple of weeks! A few notes... We are heavy into end-of-year assessments at this point. So far, we've done MAP and I am excited to say that the kids did amazing! I am astounded by the growth made by the entire class and I'm so proud of the hard work each child has put into this year. I am excited to share the results with you soon!!! Please return your permission slips for our last field trip if you haven't done so. If your child still has books from the school library, please have him/her turn them in as soon as possible so the library can take inventory. Also, please check your bookshelves for books that go with our classroom library as well. Thank you! What's coming up?
