NLCA Second Grade: 10/30-11/3

10/30-11/3

We are mixing things up a bit this week. We will not be having a Spelling Test next Wednesday. Instead, I would like for the students to find 10 of their 20 Spelling words in a sentence while they are reading this week at home. They can use books from home or Reading homework that is assigned. They must write the complete sentence from their story and underline the Spelling word. Please don't wait until the last minute to do this whole assignment. I am hoping that this will help these "er", "ir", and "ur" words stick. This assignment is due next Wednesday, November 1. However, they may turn it in whenever they finish. We will also be working with these words in class throughout the week!

(Spelling Words are posted on Class Dojo and were sent home on Wednesday, October 25)

We will have school on Friday, November 10, for Veteran's Day. We will be having a ceremony to honor our Veterans at 10:00 a.m.

Tests this week:
Wednesday: Math
No Bible or Spelling Test this week!

Jakob S. will be our Student of the Week this week!

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.
