10/26/10/30

Please be at school as close to 7:55 as possible on Monday, October 26. We will be going to see a play at NCHS and are leaving soon after 8:10.

We are starting something new with Spelling. The students will be given a Pre-Test on Fridays for their new list. If they make a 100%, they will be given a short Challenge List that they will have to know for the real test on Wednesday.

The students are doing great with fractions. A special THANK YOU to Mrs. Mandi Gerwig for coming and helping us make pizza on Wednesday. It was so much fun and super delicious.

The students had so much fun reading to the younger grades on Friday. They did a great job!! I am very proud of my students!! Please continue to do all Reading homework assignments.

Abraham will be our Student of the Week!!

We are running very low on Treasure Box items. If you would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it. Please make sure the items do not cost any more than $1.00.

Tests this week:
Wednesday: Spelling List 9 or Challenge List
Thursday: Arithmetic
Friday: Bible (Psalm 100:1-5) and Phonics

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.
