Parents, Welcome to our second grade web site. We hope this helps you with
information about our classes and what is going on here at school.
On November 7th we had an in school field trip about weather. A presenter
from High Touch-High Tech spent an hour in each class showing the children
how air pressure effects us, about cloudsform, how a tornado forms, etc.
We thank the PTA for providing the funds to cover this.
Please remember: all of our classrooms are nut free, that includes peanuts
as well as all tree nuts including items that might be processed with nuts
or
nut residue in the preparation. Some children have contact allergies and
there are others with airborne allergies. Please check all snacks and
birthday treats. The nurse sent home a notice that lists
items that have nuts and some without. Thank you for your support with
this. We want all of our children to stay healthy!!!
Each child should be practicing their basic math facts a minimum of
three times per week. Every Friday the empty envelope should be returned to
school for a sticker. A new sheet to make into flash cards will be sent home
each week. Of course, the children should practice telling time as well as
counting with coins.
Grade 2 Parents: Our Roaring Reader program is an integral part of our
homework in Grade 2. Each child should be reading a minimum of 20 nights
during the month. This can be the child reading alone or sharing part of
the time with the parent. Initials should be recorded on the weekly
calendar and the calendar returned to school weekly. It would probably be
best to keep the calendars in their red folders.
We hope this is an activity that you and your child can
enjoy together.
We are using a program called Fundations for teaching phonics, spelling and
handwriting. We will not be giving weekly traditional spelling tests where a
child studies a list each week. We will however, be teaching skills and
reviewing the progress the children make within the classroom. Therefore, at
this point you will not be required to review words for a test on Fridays.
