Second grade will be taking a mock CRCT test this year to help prepare us for third grade. We will be utilizing the OAS computer system from last year. Look for a special ten digit number for your child’s log in. This sheet is attached to this newsletter. The password will be student. Please keep that yellow sheet handy, as we will be taking lots of practice tests in February and March. We will NOT have an AR goal in February due to the Biography Book Report assignment. Please help your child pick out a biography book on his/her reading level, but not necessarily an AR book. Help them read it and complete the report form. We will share these in class on Thursday, February 27for a grade. The kids always LOVE this assignment. Please remember to send a book from home each day to read at DEAR time. Also, please send a jacket or coat to school each day. We do try to go outside everyday.
