May 9-13


Good Day to all 2nd grade blog followers,

The students had a very busy week which seemed to fly by. We finished Chapter 17 in Math on Measurements. Started a new Science unit on Our Solar System, as well as had sports afternoon on Wednesday. I was happy to see how many fast little runners there are in the second grade. There was one change this week in the test schedule in that we had our spelling test on Friday (5/6) instead of Monday (5/9) due to next weeks Iowa testing schedule.

Besides the Iowa tests (which will be given each day next week) there will be no other tests or homework (5/9-5/13). Besides the tests, classes will carry on as normal next week with the big project being the portfolio entry of the students home country.

Here is the testing schedule for the Iowa test.

Monday- Vocabulary, Word Analysis, Reading

Tuesday - Listening, Language

Wednesday - Math Concepts, Math Problems

Thursday - Computation, Social Studies

Friday - Science, Sources of Information

The best preparation the students can have for the tests are to be well rested and ready to concentrate on the instructions and the questions.

Hope you have a great week,

James Anderson
