Rotations

This week our class started rotations with other second grade teachers.  In the afternoon our class will rotate to Mr. Hammerschmidt's classroom for social, science, and health and our class will rotate to Mrs. Skay's classroom for handwriting and art.  I will be teaching phonics during rotation time.  We have also started flexible grouping in math so be sure to ask your child who their math teacher is currently at this time.  If your child has me for math I will be co-teaching with Mrs. Seibert and more information about co-teaching will be coming home with your child soon.  It should be a great year!

Classroom Fund

If able to and you have not done so yet, we are asking ALL families to send $15.00 to school by Oct. 1st.  Please make any checks payable to your child’s teacher.  This money will aide in our journey of learning by funding many needed educational supplies throughout our academic school year.  Thanks for your support.  The best learning is HANDS ON LEARNING!

NWEA Testing

Next Monday & Wednesday morning your child will be taking the NWEA tests in reading and math.  Please make sure your child gets a good nights rest the night before and a good breakfast in him/her on the morning of each test.  Both the math and reading NWEA tests will be taken in the computer lab on a computer.
