Communication

To keep you in the loop with classroom events, please check your emails frequently. I will send a weekly update via email. We also use the ClassDojo app for sharing photos and weekly updates. I’ll send out more information soon about signing up for our class account. Your child will also have a blue folder that comes back and forth to school. Please make sure to check nightly.

Classroom Rules

We will create a classroom contract our first week of school of the important rules/promises in our classroom. We will sign our contract and remind ourselves of the expectations daily. Positive behavior will be rewarded with pennies! These pennies will then be “cashed” in for small rewards and prizes monthly.

Water Bottle and Snacks

Second grade is a NUT FREE ZONE. Your child should bring two healthy nut free snacks and a filled water bottle (no juice please) to stay fueled every day. Some healthy snack ideas include: applesauce, fruit, vegetables, yogurt, tortilla chips, pretzels, popcorn, raisins, crackers or granola bars.! If your child ever forgets a snack, we have a great supply of items (thanks for your donations!). For more information on snack ideas, you can click for a Nut Free Snack List.

Birthdays

One fun way we like to celebrate birthdays is called “Books/Games & Birthdays”. Students are encouraged to bring in a copy of their favorite picture book and/or game to donate to our room on their special day! The book or game can then stay in our class for students to read or play for many years to come! Look for more information sent home in your child’s blue folder around the time of their birthday. If your child has a summer birthday, we will celebrate in May/June. They're also welcome to bring in a small individually packaged treat to share.

Student of the Week

Each child will have the opportunity to be the Student of the Week. I will send their special poster home to complete a few weeks prior to their scheduled week!

Parent Volunteers

Parent volunteers are always welcome and very much appreciated in our classroom. YOU are a key part to our school year being a success.
