Dear Families and Students:
Hello! Welcome to 2nd grade at College Park, home of the Wise Owl Leaders! My name is Mrs. Synan and I moved from Boston, Massachusetts to began teaching at College Park in 2016. I have taught 2nd, 4th and 5th grades in Massachusetts and enjoying 3rd grade here for the past 3 years before going back to 2nd. I came to Wilmington to be closer to my oldest son, his wife and our grandchildren while my youngest son works in Admissions at High Point University!
Here are a couple of things that will help you start off the school year right! All important information and homework will be sent home in the BLUE SCHOOL STUFF FOLDER. Your child will receive a conduct grade for behavior AND responsibility. (S, N, or U). Please check over the homework each night and see what is coming up in the week ahead. After doing this, please sign the sheet nightly. I will check the folders every morning.
Nightly homework will consist mainly of two things: 20 minutes of reading and response as well as 15 minutes of math fact practice along with daily math problems. In 2nd grade, mastering math facts is required!
I feel parent-teacher communication is the key to your student's success. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns by phone, email, or just writing a note on the daily School Stuff Sheet. I will be checking the sheet every morning. It is going to be a super year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Colleen Synan
