2/4-2/8

It is Homecoming Week! We will be competing with other classes for a trip to La Carreta for lunch! We earn points by showing school spirit! Please encourage your children to participate.

Theme: Put on the Whole Armor of God

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God…” Ephesians 6:10-11

Theme Days

Monday- Red, White & Blue Day

Tuesday- Nerd Day

Wednesday- Hippie Day

Thursday- Cartoon Day

Friday- School Spirit Day

The Student Council will be selling School Spirit items, and we are doing penny wars. If you would like to participate in penny wars, you can bring pennies for our class(rolled pennies earn extra points for us) and silver coins or dollar bills for the other classes.

I will be giving an extra ticket for the treasure box each day to each student that dresses for Homecoming Week. I will also give extra tickets to all students who can say this verse by Monday, February 4.

"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God. Ephesians 6:10-11"

We will have to say this verse super loud when the spirit stick comes around. Suit up and be prepared!

Tests this week:
Monday: Spelling, List 18 and Bible, Psalm 1

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.
