Ms. Lally's
2nd Grade
Lakeside Lanterns
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I hope everyone had fun this summer. I'm excited to teach my little lakeside lanterns and to learn from them throughout our year together.
I have been teaching since 2008.
I am a native New Yorker.
I have a Master's Degree from the University of Central Florida.
I enjoy cooking, traveling, bargain shopping, and doing crafty kits, like paint-by-number or diamond art.

Ms. Lally's personal classroom library book list via Libib. Students will be able to check out books regularly from the VCES to keep on reading.
SEE below for the weekly home practice guides for UFLI, our phonics program. Students are expected to study the lessons to prepare for the weekly assessment in spelling and conventions.
Learning Focus
ELA: Rhyme Scheme in poetry/ text features
Writing: central idea & introductions
Math: add and subtract whole numbers
Science: weather, seasons and the sun
Social Studies: geography and maps
Students need to arrive before 7:50 to be able to sit and eat breakfast in the cafeteria.
Students may bring a snack/water bottle daily or you may choose to donate a class-size snack for PI.
Please regularly check your student's agenda, and the contents of the binder. You should see homework, and other papers coming home. Some need your attention and/or may need to be returned.
UFLI study guides, along with timed fluency practice passages, are sent home weekly for you to study/review with your student to assist them in learning the current phonics skill. If you notice many 1's and 2's coming home on such assessments, please utilize these resources.
