Can you believe we are starting the last marking period of the school year?!?! At this point in the year, we begin preparing students to transition into 3rd grade work and expectations. Please make sure that your child is completing quality work at home, focusing on neatness, organization, spelling, punctuation, capital letters and grammar. It is also important to encourage your child to read all directions carefully before beginning an assignment.
Keep reading at home and building comprehension skills through retelling, asking questions, making connections and predicting. Reading comprehension is an area we make a big push in at this point in the year.
Report cards go home this Friday, April 1st. Please email me if you would like to schedule a conference.
