*Remember special updates regarding changes in grading for second semester Spelling tests. All words still count 5 points each. Dictation sentences are worth 5 points, too. One mistake on a dictation sentence is -5 points. Remember to practice words missed on each test, because those words will often be seen in the next week's dictation sentences!
"Animal Research Project" letters come home today. Due Date: Presentations will be Friday, Feb. 4th! Second graders need to know how to do an "at-home" project in preparation for third grade. Do not hesitate to email me with any questions..... My letter to you explains all the details :^)
