Dear Parents/ Guardians, As a 2nd grade team, we have decided to continue spelling this school year. We are doing Proficiency Based Grading in Language Arts and spelling sadly does not fit into this. However, we have decided that spelling is such an important skill for the students to know. We are going to do spelling, but it will not count towards their academic grade. Instead, we will take it into consideration for the responsibly piece in the students’ citizenship grade. We ask that the students practice their spelling words nightly. Tests will be given on the last day of the school week. We also will be doing a spelling reward system where if they get five 80% or higher test scores, they can pick a prize from the 2nd grade prize bin. We will keep track of their scores on a sticker chart placed in the classroom. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call. Thank you for your support in your child’s education, The Second Grade Team |

After logging in, students will need to choose their spelling group by name (Cheetahs, Koala Bears or Eagles) Students need to take the test and pass 100% BEFORE they can play the FREE games!
