Classroom Info

On this website you will see suggestions for helping your child learn and achieve. Look in the "School-to Home Connection" section of each monthly news page. Please take a few minutes to read through these monthly pages so you will know what your child is learning and how you can help.

Each night (Monday-Thursday) your child will bring home their purple homework folder. Please check it daily for important notices and homework assignments. At the beginning of the year, homework will consist of a Monthly Choice Board and nightly reading. Please send the Month Choice Board back to school with all their work attached at the end of the month. 

Students in Second Grade should read 20 minutes nightly. You may read to them, they can read to you or they can read independently.

We will have a snack in the morning at around 10:20. Please be sure to send in a healthy snack labeled with your child's name. Please pack it separately from their lunch box.  Snacks are kept in the classroom so students do not need to visit their locker. We are a NUT-FREE classroom, so please make sure your child's snack is safe. 

Individual Behavior Plan

Our classroom behavior system is tied to Hopewell's four behavior pillars: Responsible, Respectful, Safe, and Caring.  Students have an individual sticker chart on their desk. If I "catch "them being respectful, responsible, safe, and caring they earn a star.  Once they fill they chart, they can earn a reward of their choice from our classroom rewards. 

Fill Our Jar

Our class will work together to earn paws with whole class appropriate behavior. During transitions and when students are expected to work quietly, the class will earn class stars if the whole class is working well together.  The class can work together being responsible, respectful, safe, and caring. When the class fills the jar, the class will have a special reward. Rewards may include extra recess or a pajama day. 

We love to recognize birthdays in school!  As part of our healthy eating initiative, I ask that you choose a non-food option for recognizing your child’s birthday. One suggestion is for your child to donate a book to our classroom library. We will include your child's name inside with a special sticker and will be kept on display in our classroom library. As a class, we will make a birthday book for your child to take home.   We will celebrate students half birthday for summer birthdays. A schedule of of birthday celebrations will go home at Meet and Greet.
