Mrs. Isaacson I have been teaching for 26 years in many capacities: sixth grade, reading intervention, instructional coach. But 2 nd grade is my favorite! I have four children, and all their names begin with K. Reading, scrapbooking, doing crafts, and watching my kids sporting events are some of my favorite things to do.

Grading is done on a rubric, just as the DESK report card is. However, I mark their papers with a plus sign (+), a check mark (), or a minus (-) sign.

Every Monday, a homework packet consisting of a reading passage with questions and math review pages will be sent home. Your child needs to complete it and return it to me by Friday of the same week. Not only does completing the homework packet help review important concepts, but it also teaches your child the importance of responsibility and completing work.

The weekly spelling list is also attached to the packet. You and your child may use this to practice the words at home for the spelling test on Friday.

You are a welcome presence in the classroom! If youd like to volunteer on a regular basis or even just once or twice a year, please fill out a volunteer form in our classroom at our Back-to- School Open House and give to Mrs. Isaacson. There are opportunities to listen to students read, help them with their math facts, supervise our class store, or help with class parties. We appreciate your help! We appreciate your help!

We already have pencil boxes, crayons, and colored pencils for each student in our class, but it is important to have a backpack or bag to bring papers home in every night. We use lots & lots of supplies in 2 nd grade, so it would be very appreciated if every child could donate these items: 8 – 10 small gluesticks 8 – 10 small gluesticks a 4 oz. bottle of Elmers Glue a 4 oz. bottle of Elmers Glue a regular box of tissues a regular box of tissues If youd like to donate anything else for our classroom, check the Wish List in our classroom for items like Lysol Wipes, hand sanitizer, paper towels, paper plates, etc.

Fun Friday – Every Friday, each student who has completed their work in class will get to participate in a Fun Friday reward activity for the last half-hour of the day. Star of the Week – Each child will have the opportunity to be the Star of the week. A paper will be sent home the week before, along with a posterboard to decorate about themselves. Theyll share their poster the following Monday and it will be on display in our classroom during the week. Birthdays – You are welcome (but not required!) to send a small treat for the class on your childs birthday. In keeping with district policy, they must be store-bought. We will celebrate summer birthdays on the childs half-birthday (June birthdays in December, July in January, & August in February.)

Communication is the key to a successful school year. Were all in this together – parents, teachers, and administrators working together to help your child reach their full potential. Its going to be a great year! Mrs. Isaacsons Syracuse Elementary phone:
