8/18-8/22

We have had a great week in Second Grade! The students are adjusting well! Please remember to review the new discipline policy at home and talk about what being responsible, respectful, Christlike, and showing kindness means.

I sent Bible verses home with the students on Friday. Their first Bible test will be next Friday, August 22.

Our Spelling list will go home on Wednesday, August 20. Our first test will be on Wednesday, August 27.

Grandparent's Day will be Friday, September 26. Please send a picture in of your child's grandparents. This can be a picture with or without the child on it. Please make sure it is only a copy and you keep the original in case it would get damaged. I will be sending a note home next week for you to fill out how many grandparents your child will have attending.

I will be sending a note home next week also to ask for volunteers to help with parties, reading groups, making copies, or if you can just donate to our classroom.

Each student owes $16.00 to NLCA for student planners and "God's World News". The students will be using the planners everyday for homework assignments and test reminders. They will be in their 3 ring binder everyday and must be signed by a parent everyday.

Also if you have not turned in the $5.00 from the school supply list, please do so as soon as possible.

Don't forget "All About Me" posters are due Monday, August 18.

Faith is the student of the week!

Thank you for your cooperation! Be blessed!

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.
