Soon the children will be starting cursive writing. They are all excited to
take that step into the "adult world". Please help your child review their
basic addition facts by studying each night for fifteen minutes.
I am SO impressed with how some
of the children remember their facts from First Grade. Those who are a
little weak it is especially important to study each night. It is also
important for them to read each night.
I have explained to the children that the grades they receive on their
Report Cards, are not the grades that I gave them, but that they have EARNED
these grades.
I would like to thank each one of you parents for sharing your child with
me this year. Second grade is such an important year. Not only are we
improving our reading and math skills, but we will be receiving our First
Reconciliation as well as our First Communion.
I sent home two book orders on Tuesday, November3 with your child. The orders
are due back November 17. Even though they come from the same company
(Scholastic), I need you to write two separate checks for the orders because I
have different order forms for each set of books. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me. I am also looking for anyone who would be
interested in completing these orders for me. It will be truly appreciated.
Please check your Wednesday homework folder and your Friday folders for
correspondence.
PLEASE REMEMBER: LUNCH TICKETS SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED ON MONDAYS UNLESS
YOUR CHILD IS ILL. BECAUSE OF A NEW LUNCH POLICY, ONE SIBLING MAY NOT BORROW
ANOTHER PUNCH FROM ANOTHER SIBLING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS
MATTER!!
PLEASE, PLEASE if your child is not feeling well keep them home from school.
It is not fair to the other children or myself to be infected when this could
be prevented. Please remind them to wash their hands often. That is our
best protection against these nasty bugs!
