Raz-kids is a reading support website that we use at school. It may also be used at home.
Sumdog is a math support website that we also use. It can be used from home as well.
User names and passwords will be sent home shortly.
Occasional worksheets will be sent home as homework to reinforce the skills being taught in class.
There will not be a weekly spelling test. At the end of each unit there is an assessment that will be given to monitor student progress.
Fundations
Fundations is the phonics/spelling program that was implemented last year. We will continue with the 2nd grade edition this year.
The program consists of the following 6 components:
Phonemic Awareness
Phonics and Word Study
Vocabulary Development
Reading Fluency
Comprehension Strategies
Spelling and Handwriting
Parent letters will go home with your child at the beginning of each unit to inform you of what we will be covering in that unit.
Snack
Assessments
Snack time in 2nd grade is in the morning as we don’t have lunch until 12:00.
** Due to allergies within the grade, please do not send peanuts or peanut butter snack items for classroom snacks. These types of snacks can be eaten during lunch time as there is a peanut free table.
Students should only bring water to drink during snack time.
Benchmark assessments are given 3 times a year: September, January, and May for Reading and Math
We look forward to having a wonderful year with you and your child.

A reading log will be sent home every Friday and is due back the following Friday.
Homework will be given nightly Monday through Thursday.
We have something called “Fun Friday” to encourage students to hand in homework and reading logs on time.
If a student does not complete the homework or reading log then time will be deducted from “Fun Friday”.
