Second Grade: Day 48 – Half Day

Today is Tuesday and it’s a half day!

This week is:

  • parent/teacher conferences, so it’s half days all week! My time with Teacher Mrs. A was today (see below).
  • it is also the annual book fair in the gym too.

Isabel said they didn’t do any work in class today! They practiced for tomorrow’s Grandparents Chapel, toured the book fair, went to A.S.O. (All School Open) and went to recess.

This week’s Bible verse…

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and
good deeds…let us encourage one another.”
– Hebrews 10:24-25

For S.a.T. (show and tell) they were given a booklet to fill out about grandparents. She had to fill out a family tree and then had a few questions to ask 1 grandmother and 1 grandfather. She called each set and enjoyed a long conversation with each. I thought it was a great assignment! I’ll post the assignment when I get it back from Teacher Mrs. A.

My parent/teacher conference was this afternoon.

Isabel is going a great job in second grade. She needs to work on consistency throughout her work. She starts off strong and by the time she gets to the end, she isn’t putting as much effort in her work.

She isn’t graded on her work but gets a number based on overall achievement and effort.

2013-11-12 006_edited-1  MAP testing results from October’s 2013 testing.

This shows her growth since October 2011 testing. She’s been tested 7 times. Isabel is the top dark blue line. The orange middle line is the district school average and the light blue line is the normal average.
