Conference Time: Second grade conference period is from 10:30-11:15AM.

Planner: Please check your child's planner every day, and please initial or sign in the gray box at the bottom of that day. Any daily correspondence will be recorded in the planner. I will check daily to be sure this was signed.

Homework: Your child's homework will be listed in the planner. You will find homework in the daily folder. All homework is due the next day unless otherwise noted.

Snacks/Drinks: Students are allowed to bring a healthy snack from home, but it must follow the snack guidelines. Only one snack each day will be allowed. For student safety, we will not share snacks. Students may bring a water bottle to class if desired.

Birthdays: Parents are able to send store bought cupcakes or goodies to school with the student on their birthday. We will celebrate at the end of the day as a class.

Reading & Language Arts (RLA): There are many different components such as phonics, language arts, stories, reading strategies, spelling, and writing. We will also start cursive this year. Students will practice print handwriting from the beginning, and then we will move to cursive handwriting! We also use a program called Patterns of Power. This is a language lesson that helps students with many aspects of the English language such as grammar, punctuation, capitalization, parts of speech, and much more. Students will be expected to practice sight words, and we will work on leveled readers to continue making improvements in your child's reading!

Math: In math we will be learning about addition, subtraction, reading time, money, measurement, working word problems, counting to 1200 and so much more! We will eventually move on to simple multiplication and grouping.

Science: We will be using the program STEMscopes to explore all things science.

Social Studies: We will use the program Studies Weekly to learn about the history of our country as well as current events.
