Dear 2nd Grade Families,
Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Thank you to all the parents who came in to meet with me for Parent Teacher Conferences. I appreciate your time.
This week ahead...
Tuesday: Gym
Wednesday: Library
Thursday: Media
Friday: Gym
Our 2nd Grade class will be celebrating the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation on Saturday, 3/28 for all students who are catholic, and baptized. A letter went home two weeks ago with details. The service begins at 12:30 on Saturday. Please arrive at the church between 12 and 12:15.
We have been preparing for the sacrament in the classroom and Fr. Callistus visited us each week to talk with our students about forgiveness. We will be going over to the church for the children to become familiar with the confessional and to have Fr. Callistus explain some of the simple parts of the sacrament, to add to what we have been learning in class. This will take place during the school day on Wednesday, 3/25 at 1:30. We'll be back at school with plenty of time to dismiss as usual at 2:50.
The second trimester report cards were sent home in the folders last Thursday, 3/19. Please sign one and send it back. You can keep the other one for your records. Thank you to all who have already sent one signed report card back to school.
Finally, if your child is absent from school, please know that we worry about him/her and are waiting for their arrival. Please call the main office if you know your child will be out, and or send me an email letting me know. If your child was out and returned, they should either be bringing a note as to why they missed school, or send it via email. Thank you for all who are already doing this. We need to keep our school records up to date. Thank you so much for your support.
Notes...
Weekly Reading comprehension assessments are given on Fridays. They consist of 5 questions that pertain to the weekly selection. We read the selection twice in class and dissect it, as well two additional opportunities for students to read it as morning work. The purple MyView reader will go home on Thursdays for the children to reread the weekly story with you. Please return the reader to school each day. Thank you.
At the end of the unit, I will add up the weekly comprehension quizzes for 1 grade. Once a month, they will have an end of unit assessment that will include spelling, vocabulary, and grammar they have also learned. We will review the unit work for a week before that Unit assessment.
Regarding the SSCA folder...the daily math worksheet is in their folders, any important papers from the office, or any letters etc. from me. You can take out any checked work like CW or HW, and keep it at home so the children aren't carrying folders back and forth with too many papers.
Please initial your child's planner where they write their HW each day so I know you've seen it and know what they are assigned for homework. Thank you.
Here's to a great week ahead!
