| Dear 2nd Graders, Parents and Visitors,
Welcome to the 2nd Grade! Here's some information you'll need for the upcoming year. You may want to print this for reference at a later date.
**2 or 3 sharpened pencils with erasers (no mechanical pencils) |
|||||||||||||
| Money It would be helpful if all money be sent to school in a sealed envelope. Please make sure your child's name, grade, and what the money is for is written on the outside of the envelope. Brown envelopes are due each Monday morning. |
|||||||||||||
| Lateness/Absenteeism: If your child is late or absent for school, in addition to notifying the school office, please send a note of explanation with your child when he/she returns to school. It would also be helpful, if there is a change in your normal routine, that you make me aware of it. For example, if your child rides the bus each day, but will be going home in the walker's line, I need to know this by way of a note. Students will have 2-3 days after their absence to make up their school work. |
|||||||||||||
| Homework/Assignments: Your child will be expected to copy his/her homework in their copybook at the beginning of each day. Please check your child's homework copybook daily and initial when their homework as been completed. The homework copybook is also used a form of communication. Your child will receive a sticker at the end of each day, if they completed all assigned tasks and were well-behaved. They will also receive a sticker on their behavior chart and once filled, will receive a prize. If your child is having an "off" day, I will write a small note in the copybook to keep you informed. You may also write daily notes to me as well at anytime. Finally, your child will be expected to complete their homework each night |
|||||||||||||
| Reading: Reading is an important part of Second Grade and we will be doing a lot of group work/activities each week. We will be working in large groups, small groups, partners, and individually. Please encourage your child to read to you each day. We have a growing "Reading Corner" in our classroom and would appreciate any old books that are not being used anymore in your household. We will be making a chart of all the books we read this year and promoting how fun books can be! |
|||||||||||||
| Concerns: Please feel free to contact me at anytime with any concerns or problems that you may have. You can contact me by calling the school office and I will get back to you at my earliest conveinence. You can also send a note in with your child or email me. My email address is jrwolfe@ptd.net. It is imperative that we work together to help your child achieve their very best! |
|||||||||||||
| Suggestions: Please make sure that your child's name is on all of their valuable: sweaters, jackets, school bags, lunch bags, gym clothes, etc. Hard cover books must be covered by the end of the first week of school. Your child may bring in a snack to eat at Morning Recess. There are currently 10 students in our classroom if your child is interested in bringing in birthday treats to celebrate their special day. |
|||||||||||||
| Parent Involvement: I am more then happy to have parents come into the classroom to do a special project, read a book, help carry out class projects, or learn something new. If you are interested in visiting second grade, please let me know and we can make arrangements. |

| A Glimpse of 2nd Grade . . . | |||||||||||||
Every year, the second graders portray a Saint that they are named after or are interested in studying on All Saint's Day. We study the saints, talk about what it means to be a saint, and dress up during our All Saint's Day Mass. This year, we will be learning about some very exciting things! Believe it or not, by the end of the school year, your child will be writing in cursive. We will begin to concentrate on several of our times tables in Math and do a lot of center based activities using manipulatives. In Reading, we will be working in small groups for a majority of the year. We will be doing activities such as: Book Talks, Extend the Text, What Did the Author Mean, You Be the Author, etc. Your child will be writing short stories and will really come into their own as a Reader. I am very passionate about Reading and want your child to enjoy it as well. Finally, we have a "Pray Corner" that your child can visit at their leisure. We have little prayer cards to write down who we are thinking/prayer for during the week. On Fridays, we take a few minutes and hold our own Prayer Service as a whole class. Second Grade is so much fun and it is truly a joy to teach your child! You Can Email Me At . . . jrwolfe@ptd.net |
