READING BUDDIES: We will be having some middle school students come down twice a month on Thursdays to work on some reading skills with the second graders. Mrs. Munson’s 6th graders will work with Mrs. Hanken’s class at 11:30. Mrs. Wilson’s 8th graders will work with Mrs. Goergen’s class at 10:00.
ACCELERATED READER (AR): Second graders should read their picture book at 3 times before they take a test. For chapter books, students only need to read it once. Before they take a test, the student should review each chapter in the book with an adult.
LUNCH: Second grade lunch is at 12:35-1:05
MILK BREAK: Since lunch is so late, second graders will be very hungry. Please make sure your child has a healthy milk break snack. A sandwich is a good idea!
ABSENCE: If your child is absent, please the teacher and the elementary office. You may also call the elementary office at to leave a message on the school answering machine during late hours.
