How will my child be assessed in second grade?

Your child will be assessed informally in both reading and math on a daily
basis.  This is done through classwork and small group instruction.  In
addition to these informal assessments, students will be given county-wide
assessments each nine weeks in math.  I will check reading progress through 
running records which will show your child's reading level each nine weeks.

visitors.

How can I contact Ms. Cox?

You may send a note in requesting a conference with me and I will get back to 
you that same day.  You may also call me at school between 2:30 and 3:00 P.M. 
any day. You may also send me an email.

Can I volunteer in the classroom?

We will need lots of volunteers this year.  I will send information home with 
your child to let you know what times are best.

What does AM stand for?

Accelerated Math.  This is the first year that your child will participate in 
this program.  He/she will continue with accelerated math through fifth 
grade.  Your child will practice math skills using worksheets printed from 
the A.M. program on the computer.  He/she will then take a quiz on that 
skill.  Your child will be expected to fill in bubble sheets to answer the 
math questions.  If they master the quiz, they may go on to the next skill.  
If not, the computer will automatically print out more practice worksheets on 
the same skill until your child can master it!
