Second Grade News

v The fall IRI (Idaho Reading Indicator) was given last week. This is the state test that is given to all kindergarten – third grade students in the state of Idaho. This test only assesses fluency, as soon as I have your child’s results I will send a note.
v Starting this Friday, there will be an extra recess for all students who have returned 100% of their homework during the week. I will be sending home reading homework each evening. This homework will be based on the reading needs of your child. Some children ill also have side B of the Saxon math to complete. Please check your child’s math sheet to see if he/she needs to complete the B side.
v Mr. Roberts is also working on a special activity at the end of each month for all students who have had 100% attendance. I will let you know more about this as I know more.
v Please encourage your child to read each night, reading skills are increased by reading. This reading should be on your child’s level. Please use the five finger rule when determining the appropriateness of your child’s selected reading material. (If there are five words on the first page of the selected book that your child does not know, this book is too hard)
Thanks for all you do.
