Homework

A homework folder will be sent home each night. Inside we will include a homework sheet that indicates your child’s weekly assignments. The necessary materials needed to complete each assignment will be sent home nightly. It is very important that your child complete each assignment in a timely manner. Please sign your child’s homework sheet each night.

Schedule


Our school wide schedule has changed in order to better support our students. On Mondays, teachers will be team teaching with the specialist to allow them to integrate their knowledge and expertise with our second grade curriculum. Students will attend magnet classes from 1:20-2:05 and 2:05-2:50 every Tuesday through Friday.

Behavior

Your child will have the opportunity to earn “eagle’s eggs” (tickets) throughout the year. These “eggs” can be earned school wide. Every staff member has the ability to reward any child with “eagle’s eggs.” Your child will store his/her “eggs” in their homeroom. The “eggs” may be traded for small prizes in your child’s homeroom or may be saved to redeem bigger prizes from the schools “eagle’s nest” (see items in the display case). Your homeroom teacher will inform you of any other behavior system used in their classroom. A behavior sheet will be sent home each day indicating your child’s behavior. Please sign this behavior sheet each night.

Lunch


Our lunch time will be the same time each day.
Mrs. Kessler and Mrs. Matthews 12:10 – 12:35
Mrs. Stewart 12:15-12:40


Book-in-a-bag


Once reading groups begin, your child will bring home a book-in-a-bag every night. It is very important that your child read to an adult each night. Inside the bag you will also find a reading log, word list, reading strategies, a response journal, and comprehension questions. All of these items can be used at home to help with your child’s reading success. Please sign your child’s reading log each night.

Snack


We will have a snack time each morning. Please send only nutritious snacks for your child. Do not send soda or candy to school for your child to have during snack time.

Star Students


Each student will be given the opportunity to be the star student of the week in his/her homeroom. The star student’s special assignments and privileges will be discussed in more detail at a later date.

Specials


Specials will be taught on a two week rotation this year (Each student will attend each specialist class every other week). Second graders will attend art, music, theatre, PE, Spanish, dance, media, and computer lab.

Birthdays


Birthday treats must be shared during lunch unless other arrangements are made with your teacher. Students with summer birthdays may celebrate their half birthday during the school year.
