CLASSROOM NEWS
Welcome to second grade. We are off to a great start. This past week has been very exciting for all of us. We have shared many experiences in order to get to know one another. I think the children are getting comfortable with their daily routine and the surroundings of the classroom. My goal is for the children to continue their lifelong learning experiences in a fun and exciting way during second grade. I hope we can work as a team to accomplish this goal.
Each month, I will be updating my website page with a newsletter containing information about the curriculum we are working on at the time as well as any other dates/events. If you have any announcements, comments, or concerns please bring them to my attention by e-mailing me at [email protected], writing me a note or giving me a call.
HOMEWORK
Children will be given a two-sided math sheet for nightly homework on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday is a "homework free" day for the whole year. Also, children will be required to color one picture on the sheet for every 15 minutes of reading they do. Dojo points will be rewarded when the log is passed in. Please refer to the “Homework" page on this website.
Your child is responsible for returning the math homework the next day. If the homework is forgotten an addition day is allowed. If the homework is not returned by the third day then your child will need to complete a new sheet at home. Homework is an important part of our curriculum. It helps the students reinforce skills that are practiced through the school day. I appreciate your support with your child’s homework. If for any reason the assignment is too difficult, please stop working after 15 minutes and write a note on the assignment sheet. Thank you!
