Don't forget we are using different wording on the reading tests for beginning, middle, middle, and end. It will now be first, next, then, last. This is the wording that third grade uses on their test. We feel this will help the children get ready for third grade.

Math. We will be taking a math test on 2 digit addition and regrouping on Tuesday. I will send home a study guide for this also.

This week will be filled with some great activities for the children. Thursday we will be having Christmas around the world in 2nd grade. Your child can bring their pajamas, robe, and slippers to go from class to class and learn about different Christmas celebrations. This is a wonderful activity that they will enjoy greatly.
