We have made it most of the way through the first day of second grade! Your students were lucky enough today to go to all 3 specials- gym, music, and art. This gave the specials teachers a chance to get all students on board with procedures so that they can jump into teaching tomorrow!
In class today we went over many procedures and "what to do ifs...". They were loaded with information about how to behave and have a fantastic year. We will continue with modeling behaviors and procedures most of the first two weeks.
A few quick notes...
* We will be having snack in the mornings. I usually have a back-up in case your student forgets, but try to remember if you'd like them to have a snack. Also, we talked today about how we will not be sharing snacks in second grade. This cuts down on hurt feelings and the spread of germs.
* I will be putting together our volunteer calendar by the end of this week. From the volunteers that signed up at Open House, it appears that we will be alternating weeks so that everyone can be included. If you did not sign up at Open House, the following are the subjects, days and times available:
Reading parents (slightly different from what you did in 1st grade, but similar)- M, T, W, Th from 1:45-2:30
Spelling parents (a regimented introduction of spelling words to a small group)- M (could be Tuesday if we skip a Monday) 10:45-11:10.
Send me a note, email, or comment before Friday if any of these interest you.
* It is very warm in our room, even with fans on. Please feel free to send a water bottle with your student.
* A detailed explanation of homework will be coming home soon...
I think that is it! Your students all seem to be excited and ready for a great year. Thank you for all of your support.
