Welcome back to school! We are going to have a fabulous year in second grade! Don't forget to sign your child's reading calendar each night. I will be checking them weekly and it will be a weekly homework grade. The minimum second grade reading requirement is 20 minutes per night, 5 nights per week. Accelerated Reader is a classroom requirement. I am asking that students attempt to complete 2 A.R. tests per week. It is a powerful tool to aid reading comprehension and the students love the opportunity to work on the computer on a regular basis! Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time with any concerns or questions. Parent-Teacher conferences are held in November, but we can schedule a conference at any time during the school year to meet and discuss your child's progress. With all of us working together we can insure that the students have a fun, meaningful, and successful year this year!
