What do we need to bring to class?
- Supplies are provided in class. You will NOT need to purchase pencils, erasers, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, pens, or markers.

- Your donations to the classroom are always appreciated! We'll always need more pencils, Kleenex, Clorox wipes, and hand sanitizer.
Field Trips
Field Trips
- We typically do 3 field trips per school year. (Dates and specifics are to come)
- Chaperones will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
- The 2nd grade team is asking for a $40 donation from every family to cover costs.
Homework
Homework
- Homework is assigned everyday (except for Fridays)
- Homework is due the very next day.
- There will be 1 project/presentation per trimester.
- Students will also keep a reading log; please sign that your child read for at least 15 mins each night.
- Homework will begin after Labor Day (click on link for a copy of Homework Cover Sheet).
Class Work
Class Work
- Your child’s finished schoolwork will be sent home every week in his/her Thursday envelope. Please take a minute to sit down with your child and look over the school work completed that week (this reminds your child that school work is important). I also recommend setting up a special place at home to keep all things related to school – backpack, homework folder, Thursday envelope, library books, etc. This will help your child be more responsible and foster life-long organizational skills.
- Unfinished school work will sometimes be sent home as homework in their homework folder and should be returned the next day.
Birthdays
Birthdays
- Every student will be recognized on his/her birthday unless requested otherwise
- Though not mandatory, you are welcome to bring birthday treats to celebrate your child's special day. Please just be considerate of the following:
- Notify me at least 24 hours in advance
- Keep the treats small (e.g. no cake please)
- Please ensure you purchase enough for every student in the class
Classroom rules
Classroom rules
- The rules of room 24 are exactly the same as the school-wide rules. We will be following P.A.W.S.
