A Note from Mrs. Danley...
Dear Parents,
Thank you to my parent chaperones, Rachel,
Maureen, and Heather for going on our Tuskegee
Field Trip last week. I appreciate your help in mak-
ing our trip both fun and educational!
Students will take the final DIBELS reading
fluency test coming up in April. The benchmark goal
is 87 words per minute. Continue to read each night for at least 20 minutes to
promote fluency, comprehension and build stamina. They will also take the
chalkable Reading and Math test on April 25 & 26th. Please remind students
to continue to work hard throughout the remainder of the year.
We have a great deal to left to learn in 2nd grade!
Many Thanks, Mrs. Danley :)
