Parent Teacher Conferences are Monday, February 18, from 4:00-6:30 p.m. If you would like a time slot, please let me know, and I will sign you up.

We will be going to lunch at La Carreta on Tuesday, February 19.

We will be going to the Book Fair next week. A yellow note came home Friday with a link if you would like to shop online. Students may bring a small stuffed animal Monday and Tuesday to shop with them. Also, parents are welcome to come and go with our class. Our whole class will go on Monday (10:30-10:50) and Tuesday (8:30-8:50). Only those with money will go on Wednesday-Friday (8:30-8:50). It will also be open to families on Monday-Wednesday (2:30-3:30) and Saturday (1:00-4:00).

Friday, Feb. 22., will be D.E.A.R.(Drop Everything And Read) Day in Second Grade. Students may bring in books from home and enjoy some free reading time. They also may bring a small stuffed animal to read with.

Students may work on I John 4:7-8 and say it by next Friday, Feb. 22. I have not felt well and was absent a day, and we did not get to go over it in class as much as I would have liked.

Tests this week:

Wednesday-Spelling, List 20

Thursday-Math

Friday-Phonics

If anyone would like to donate to our classroom, we need some $1.00 items for the treasure box.

If you bring a note in signed that your parents read the blog by Tuesday, Feb. 19, you can earn two extra tickets.

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.
