Notes: Our second grade class is participating in the Accelerated Reader Quiz-taking challenge, Read The Most From Coast To Coast, which will take place on Friday, March 2nd. This is the birthday of Dr. Seuss and students from coast to coast will be taking AR tests all day long. That day is also a half day and we have Mass. After Mass and our regular tests, we will dedicate the rest of the time for AR tests. In order to encourage the students to get ready for the big day, I have planned a few fun activities. One activity is Character Day which will be on Wednesday. The students may come dressed as their favorite character from a book. I would also like them to bring the book and book report to share with the class. They may also bring in items that relate to the book or theme. I really hope all my students participate! Mrs. Long gave her permission for the students to dress up. Also, encourage your child to read an AR book or two so that he/she may take a test during the week and on that day. Thank you for your help. Happy reading!

One last thing. I will be testing all students this Friday on the addition and subtraction facts. Please help your child practice these facts.
