Reminders and Announcements


Hello Second Grade Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the fall-like weekend we recently had.  It is definitely nice to have the cooler weather during the school day.  The students brought home their reading logs and their new spelling words today.  These are the three lists that the children in the class are working on. Again, the spelling words are not something the students need to do for homework.  The priority is reading each night.  Students will get extra points for reading and practicing their spelling, if they choose to do both.

Reminders and Announcements:

Last week the two second grade classes completed their reading assessments, if you would like to know what reading level your child is at, please feel free to email me and I can let you know their level.

Both second grade classes will be completing the PNOA testing this week, which helps the teachers and staff place students for their math skills and groups.  This assessment shows us where their strengths and weaknesses lie and what we can implement for specific math instruction to meet their needs.

Next Monday, October 8th is Columbus Day.  There will be no school because it is a Teacher-In-Service Day.

If there are any other questions or concerns please feel free to email me MacCallumt@hartfordschools.net

Thanks and have a great night,

Ms. Mac J
