The rest of the month your child will be tested on Reading TRC. We have been practicing writing for a few months. Please discuss with your child about doing their best. It is also important that your child work quietly and independently during the tests and not to interrupt another child’s testing session. IMPORTANT: Please let me know if you are taking your child out early. Your child may be testing during that time. Please DO NOT email me transportation changes as it must be handwritten to the office. If I am not here I will not be able to relay the email or may not be able to read them as I am teaching all day. VOLUNTEERS: This is our last week as our schedules for the remainder of the year will change due to testing and EOG’s. There is a special volunteer recognition at the end of May for you. Also, I will need help planning the end of the year party with the other 2nd grade classes.
