Between May 22nd and May 29th all Grade 2 students will be writing the Provincial Reading Assessment.  They will be asked to read several pieces of text and answer multiple choice questions.  We have been practicing how to answer these types of questions in class.  It is very important on these days for students to arrive at school on time and that they have had a good night's sleep and a good breakfast.   At this same time, all students in Grade 2 will be completing the District Writing Assessment.  Students will be asked to produce a piece of writing independently from start to finish. They wil need to choose their own topic, develop their ideas and write their story in a well organized form using good word choices, and proper punctuation and capital letters without any assistance from the classroom teacher.
