I believe in creating a cooperative learning environment where students share their learning and learn from each other. I'd love for parents to visit our classroom and see how your children are working and learning!
Homework
Students will have homework to reinforce the classroom learning. Homework should be able to be completed within 30 minutes- should your child need to spend more time than this, please contact me and we can work out any problems. Homework may consist of math worksheets, spelling practice, and reading.
Nightly Reading
Students are expected to read for 15 minutes at least five nights a week. This needs to be recorded on their reading calendar and signed by parents at the end of the month. This will be a monthly reading grade.
Home/School Communication
Important papers come home in Friday folders; please return any forms in the folder as soon as possible. I will send home a weekly classroom newsletter each Friday. The children also write a weekly Friday note home to their families telling about their week at school; parents, please write a short note back to your child - this becomes a special memory for you at the end of 2nd grade.
Feel free to call, e-mail, stop by, or send a note at any time throughout the year!!
