My Goals To give your child the academic and social skills he/she will need to progress to third grade. To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment. To help your child make new friends and discover new interests.

Class Subjects The subjects we cover during second grade are: Reading, language arts, and writing Math Science/Health Social studies Music, art, physical education, library skills, writing lab,and guidance.

Classroom Community Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. Our class rules are: Safety - keep your hands and feet to yourself. Thoughtful – raise your hand to speak. Accountable –Pay attention and be prepared for class. Respect – treat myself and others in a kind and friendly way.

Homework I will assign homework every night except Fridays or on holidays. Every child is responsible for doing his/her homework. Homework will be written in your child’s agenda daily. PLEASE SIGN THE AGENDA NIGHTLY.

And feel a hundred butterflies. Children grow; They laugh, they learn. School begins… You bring your child You hold their hand hope they’ll smile. The teacher is there – You say goodbye- And feel a hundred butterflies. Children grow; They laugh, they learn. Then comes the day – They leave in turn. And as a teacher I will be As proud as you – Because your kids Are my kids too!
