 Wednesday, April 15,  2026



Read: 15 minutes

Math: worksheet

Math Test: Topic 9 on Tuesday, 4/21 ~ Please see study guide that went home in the folders yesterday.

Social Studies: Test on Friday, 4/17 on Chapter 4, Lessons 1 & 2  

Study the review sheet completed on Tuesday.


Reminder: If you haven't  joined our 2nd Grade Google Classroom yet, please do. If we have to pivot to remote learning for some reason, your child will need to be joined with our class on GC. The code was shared via Class Dojo. 

Note: The Google Classroom code is also taped into your child's planner on page 1. Please log in with your child's school email address and password.

Thank you so much!

If your child is absent and not feeling too unwell, they can find their spelling words on the Subjects & Learning Targets page under ELA: Spelling Words. It's fine to do the work on looseleaf paper. 



A few things this week....


*****************************************************************************

Please sign and return tests sent home. Thank you. 

If your child is absent from school, please call the school office that morning. We worry about our students when they are not here with us. ❤️ Thank you.

Also, please send in an absence note when your child returns to school. You can download one off of FACTS under resources or write a simple note; whichever you prefer. Thank you. 

If you are experiencing any difficulty logging in to see your child's iReady diagnostic scores, please email me separately and I'll resend you the code Mrs. Picarello shared with families in the October Newsletter. Thank you!


Reminders... 

If you are interested in offering to join us as a chaperone on our class trips or do lunch duty, you will need to be Virtus trained and have a background check. We have some parents in our class who are qualified but if you aren't and would like to be, please check in the office to see when the next training is offered at our parish or in a neighboring parish. We love having our parents join us when they can! Thank you. 


**Please see your child's planner (first page) with our 2nd grade Art Google Classroom Code.  Mrs. Della Croce (our Art teacher) asks that you please join. 


The Weekly Selection Comprehension quizzes will be returned at the end of the unit and students will be given one grade for the 5 quizzes in a unit, combined. Each quiz has 5 comprehension questions. The end of unit 1 assessment will follow, and we will review the week before in class. The first ELA Unit Assessment is planned for Monday, October 20th. 

I gifted each student with a HW pass for the first trimester.  They may use it for any 1 HW assignment anytime from now until the end of the trimester (before Thanksgiving). I know there are some days when many things are going on and homework doesn't always all get done. This is a good opportunity to save it for such a day for one assignment. 


Beginning the week of 9/15, students will have a Reader Response writing assignment to complete about whatever they have been reading during the week at home, for their 15 minutes per day reading HW. They may also choose to write about the weekly selection they will be reading for HW on Thursdays to review for Friday's 5 Q comprehension quiz. We may skip a week here and there as I don't want to give the students too much homework in a day.)



Mondays we have Art class. 


Tuesday and Friday are gym days. Students should be in full gym uniform for these days and wearing sneakers. Thank you.  


Thursdays are Media days. Students need working headphones or earbuds. Thank you. 


Gentle reminder ~ Mrs. Picarello has asked all students to be in SSCA uniform each day and has been letting us know throughout the school as she notices some students are not in compliance. She has also sent out a notice to all school families with more specific details about our school uniform. Thank you.


*************************************


I will be checking my school email during the day as I am able but may not reply right away, as I am teaching your children. It may be after dismissal when I'm back in touch. If you reach out in the evening and I miss it, I'll be back to you ASAP in the morning. Thank you.

My email address is: jpaguaga@stsebastianacademy.org.

 A few quick essentials:



Please check this class Google Site regularly throughout the school year, especially the newsletter for a quick check for homework, messages, and any details that are too much for the students to write in their planners about the upcoming week. You will be able to see what your children are learning in each subject, each week, as we progress through the year, by clicking on the Subjects & Learning Targets tab on the top of this page. 


Please buy Con-Tact Clear Transparent Paper to cover your child's soft covered, practice books; for example: Math, Science, Social Studies, ELA/Reader, Religion. You can order it on Amazon or shop at Staples or any store that sells office supplies.  I will send home a few books at a time to have covered. Books do not hold up well for the entire school year when they are not covered so I thank you in advance for doing this. Thank you!


Sincerely,


Mrs. J. Paguaga
