10/10-10/14

We have some exciting activities going on next week. Monday, October 10, is the Literature Fair. Our class will have a project on The Quiltmaker's Gift. Everyone has helped with the project! It looks great, and I think the kids have had a good time learning about the different parts of the project!

Tuesday, October 11, we are having an all day D.E.A.R. Day (Drop Everything And Read). The students may not wear pajamas, but they may wear comfy clothing because we will be on the floor some of the day. They may also bring a small pillow and blanket. I am planning several activities. If anyone would like to come and help or read to the class, let me know and we can schedule a time. Also, the students may bring books from home to read on their own throughout the day!! I am looking forward to a day that is different and relaxing for everyone!

New Spelling Words (List 6) were sent home on Wednesday, October 5, and new Bible verses were sent home on Thursday, October 6.

Matty will be our Student of the Week!

Have a great weekend!

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.
