Welcome Back to School
* Second Grade *
Dear 2nd Grade Families,
Welcome! Please review the information below with your child.
Planners
Your child will have a planner to help them be organized. The nightly math homework pages will be written in the planner each day we complete a lesson. Be sure to look in it regularly, as special dates will be noted. The planners are distributed at no cost to you. However, if a planner is lost, the school will charge you $10.00 for a replacement.
Water Bottles
Please send your child to school with a reusable water bottle every day. This should have their full name clearly written on it. Water fountains are back on to refill. The school will not be providing water bottles.
Homework
Each night your child should complete the math homework pages. During English week they need to read in English. During German week they need to read in German and/or listen to a German story for at least 20
minutes each day. Aditionally, during German weeks, there will also be a spelling test each Friday. Spelling words should be studied each night (10 words per week, written in the HW planner on Mondays).
Communication
Communication is extremely important, and the best way to communicate with us is via email. We will always do our best to get back to you as soon as possible, within 48 hours during the week. The 2nd grade team will send a weekly email on Friday afternoons with updates from the week.
Birthdays
If you wish to have your child’s birthday recognized at school, email your child’s teacher the week beforehand and they will ensure your child is celebrated with the class. If you would like to send something with your child please stick to non food items. For example, stickers, pencils, playdoh, etc. These items should come already individually packaged for each student.
Cheers & Tschüs,
2nd Grade Team
