21. Every year the 2 nd Grade puts on a 2 nd Grade Musical. This is an opportunity for students to be immersed in music, choreography, costumes, staging while learning many facts about animals. This experience has shown over the years to boost self confidence and a sense of community and belonging to a group.

22. In progress (I) In progress toward meeting the grade-level standard. Exceptional (ES) Exceptional at the grade-level standard. Meets the grade-level standard by demonstrating proficiency of the content or processes for the measurement topic. Proficient (P) Levels of Performance Instruction begins at the grade-level standard. How the student performs at the grade-level standard determines level of proficiency. How the student responds Instruction on the Measurement Topic Not yet or minimal (N) Not yet making progress or making minimal progress toward meeting the grade-level standard.

23. Grade 2 Standards-based Report Card Subject Measurement Topic

24. Homework Plan for Second Grade Our homework plan involves 2 Mandatory parts! Nightly reading! Recorded on an at home reading chart turned in 3 times a quarter. Nightly Math Practice! Your child will receive math practice sheets reviewing concepts already covered in class. These are from a Common Core Reteaching and Practice work book and other practice pages aligned with instruction. This is meant to be independent practice. Please check to see if it is completed. We will check for mistakes in class. This will help us to know where your child needs assistance so we can meet with them in small groups to address their needs.

25. MCPSAP-PR (Montgomery County Public Schools Assessment Program- Primary): This is a Montgomery County test that is given three times a year. Once in the Fall, Winter and Spring. It is a reading test to test comprehension and word recognition. MAP-P(Math Assessment Primary) ): This is a Montgomery County test that is given two times a year. Once in the Fall and once in the Spring. It is a math test to show the progression of skills attained in math. Global Screening: This is the test that is given to all second graders in the spring to recognize students of high ability and thinking skills. The results will be mailed to your home at the end of the school year. Testing in Grade 2

26. DONATIONS PLEASE We have lunch at 1:30pm. We eat a snack daily at 10:45ish. Please send in a small nutritious snack with your child everyday.
