5/20-5/24

We are so close to the end! Just a few things I need to tell you about:

Tuesday, May 28, we will be having a second grade birthday party. We have a few kids that have birthdays over the summer and lots of parties that I couldn't make it to this year, so we will be having one big celebration together with ice cream sundaes. This is not for gifts! I have a small amount of money leftover from the field trip that I can buy ice cream, bowls, napkins, cups, and spoons with, but I would like everyone to bring in atleast 2 of one topping. Parents are more than welcome to attend. It will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Emma-Crushed Oreos
Bryson-Mini M&Ms
Isabella-Strawberry Topping
Kylie-Caramel Topping
Hannah-Hot Fudge Topping
Jenna-Gummy Bears
Madison-Sprinkles
Josh-2 2 liters of Sprite
Dawson-Reese Pieces
Josiah-Mini Marshmallows
Mason-Whip Cream (Bottle)
Connor-Chocolate Syrup
Walker-Heath Pieces

Friday, May 24 is the end of the school bash from 10-2. Please let them know in the office how many from your family will be attending.

Wednesday, May 29 is awards day at 8:15 a.m. Students may leave right after awards.

Second Grade Discipline Policy

We have a discipline chart that the students will climb if the correct behavior is being followed or recline if the incorrect behavior is being displayed. Students will chart their color everyday on a calendar that stays in their take home folder. Our classroom rules follows 1 Cor. 13:4-8.

Homework Policy

In second grade homework is typically limited to Reading, Spelling, and Bible. However if classwork is not completed by the end of the day, it must be completed at home for homework. It is important for students to practice math facts occasionally. Also, if a child chooses incorrect classroom behavior and fails to complete assigned work during class, these pages may also be sent home for completion and must be returned the next school day.

In Reading, students will be expected to read 3 nights a week and fill out a Reading log. There may be an occasional homework quiz given in class to test on comprehension.

In spelling, a new list of words is assigned every Wednesday. Students will practice the words in class on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday however, the parent(s) and student may decide upon their own method for studying words at home to better prepare for weekly tests. A pre-test is given on Tuesdays. Spelling tests are given on Wednesdays. Students may complete bonus work to be counted toward their test. Only 5 bonus points will be counted toward each test. **If a test is missed on Wednesday, due to an absence or snow day, it will be given the next day students are in school.

In the event a student fails to return his or her homework to school the following measures may be taken:

1. Complete the assignment during recess

2. Complete the assignment during an extracurricular class

3. Complete the assignment in class, but with additional work given (Example: write spelling words two times instead of one)

4. A parent/teacher conference

5. After school detention (extreme circumstance)

Attendance policy:

Please refer to page 6 and 7 of the Student Handbook. Also, students will be counted absent if they leave before 1:30 p.m. and tardy if they leave after 1:30 p.m.
