 What is Morning Meeting?
Morning Meeting is a daily routine we practice in Second Grade where we 
gather together as a classroom community to greet one another, share and 
respond to different topics, and look forward to the day's events.  Morning 
Meeting provides six key tools and benefits to the 2nd graders: 
Builds community 
Increases student confidence
Improves student reading, writing, listening and speaking skills
Provides a meaningful context for learning skills
Encourages cooperation
Gives students daily practice in respectful communication

 When are tests given?
Tests are generally given Friday mornings.  However, tests are also given at 
the end of a unit which may be in the middle of the week.  The students will 
be given plenty of notice to prepare for a test beforehand. 
Remember: Quizzes may be given at any time without notice.

 Does my child need to make up work when they are absent?
Yes.  It is very important that children make up all missed classwork and 
homework if they are absent.  I will give students adequate time to do this 
but it is their responsibility to take home the books they need to complete 
the assignments.
