SOAR tests are this week

Book orders are due tomorrow! According to the website, as long as I send off the order tomorrow, the books should be delievered to the school before the winter break.

We will be having our SOAR tests this Wednesday and Thursday.  We have been working hard on our test-taking skills and strategies.  Please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast, and is on time, especially on these two days. I know the kids will do a great job on this test!

For the spelling words this week--since the SOAR tests are this week, we will have the spelling test for these words next Wednesday, December 19th.  Plus, this way we won't have to worry about having a spelling test before the class winter party or during the "Now Lay Me Down to Read" day.

This Friday afternoon, we will be having our classroom spelling bee.  The top two winners from our class will then compete against the top 2 students from the other 2nd grade classes in a spelling bee on Monday, December 17th. 

Canaan is our star student this week! He is a HUGE Arkansas Razorback fan (also my personal favorite :)) and he enjoys playing football himself, as well!
