  5. Dismissal Changes If your child is changing the way they get home, we need a handwritten note stating this fact. We are required to send them the way they would normally go home without the handwritten note. This is crucial for your child’s safety. If it is a last minute change please call the office. We cannot change through email.

  6. Grading Standards Based Assessmentsin 2nd grade Similar to 1st grade, instead of letters-numbers Focus: Mastering Essential Skills 1 - The student does not quite understand the material yet 2 - The student is progressing. They understand but cannot yet explain their thinking. 3 - The student has mastered the material and can explain it. If your child scores a level 1 or 2 they will be given additional instruction/intervention and when they show improvement they will be given 1 more opportunity for reassessment to show a greater level of understanding.

  7. Language Arts Reading Comprehension • Metacognition(thinking about our thinking) • Schema (prior knowledge/connections) • Purpose for Reading • Connections (self, text, world) • Retell and Summarize • Ask Questions • Monitor comprehension • Inference

  8. Language Arts Writing • The Writing Process • Revising and Refining • Paragraph Writing • Grammar and Spelling • Nonfiction Writing • Report Cards will reflect some process writing and some “cold” writing.

  12. At Home Practice Reading minutes will be recorded on their weekly reading log. Students will have a goal of how many minutes to read. They will have an entire week to meet that goal. It is their choice of date and duration. They will be given their reading log on Friday and it will be due the following Friday. It is their choice whether they start reading on the weekend or wait until the weekdays. Guided Reading books will be sent home after parent teacher conferences and will be on an as needed basis. Practice Addition and Subtraction Facts. MATH-O will be sent home each month starting in October.

  13. Reminders Please leave all things inside the Falcon Binder. Please review Tuesday folders and send them back. Target Binders will go home periodically and need to be returned the next day.
