What's New in Room 22

Language Arts
Last week the second grade finished the final story of our Reading Street series, Grace for President.  The week of 5/21 our students will take their reading benchmark test and we will begin a fairy tales unit to complete the school year. Also, in writing, students will begin working on their memory books and take their 100 word spelling test.  Families, remember you can learn more about Reading Street here:
