Track One Second Grade
2008-2009
Welcome to Second grade!
I am looking
forward to meeting you and your children.
This year we will have many new experiences and adventures. We will explore the three states of matter
and discover an animal’s life cycle. We
will become part of a community and learn how government and the economy
work. We will become confident and
creative writers. At the end of the year we will celebrate all
of the success that we have made together.
I am so excited about working with your children this year as they
grow.
Discipline Policy
As a
class, we will decide on what rules we will obey as a class and these will be
posted for us all. This contract ensures
that we all want the same behaviors for each other. We will have a system in place to monitor the
observation of these rules. Our class
success is built on positive reinforcement and encouraging words.
Homework
Your
child’s homework will be sent home each Monday in their folder. Homework is generally due on Friday morning
unless otherwise stated. Homework
assignments will be initially written in the newsletter that will be sent home weekly. As the students become more responsible they
will begin writing their own homework down.
Snacks/Lunch
Our lunch
will be after 12:00 this year, therefore we will have
a midmorning snack each day. These
snacks are to be brought from home. I
request that you send in snacks that are healthy and not loaded with sugar. Birthday treats are welcomed and will be enjoyed
at lunch as dessert. Please remember that
Lunch Bunch
The
students love lunch bunch, so once you have received your volunteer badge, I
encourage you to come as often as you’d like.
Lunch bunch is limited to 4 children.
This includes any younger siblings you bring with you.
Conferences
We will
have at least 2 conferences during the year, however,
you may request additional conferences anytime you have a concern.
Field Trips
We will
have 2 field trips this year. These will
be announced as the year progresses.
Contact Me
Feel free
to email me at anytime. I try to check
it at least twice a day. If you have a
change of transportation or important information please send a written note
with your child that morning.
I hope this gives you a glimpse
into second grade. Thank you for your
support. I am looking forward to an exciting
year with your children.
