Dental Hygiene

Students in 2L are participating in a fluoride treatment program with Nurse Valois. Each Tuesday morning, students with permission will swish their way to a healthy smile that promotes good dental hygiene. If you would like your child to participate please contact Mrs.Valois if you haven't already done so.

This week is a Benchmark Week. Students will be tested on all English Language Arts skills we have covered during the last 5 weeks. There will be no E Block sessions. Our class will be reading a Cam Jansen chapter book with activities in lieu of our standard Scott Foresman weekly story. Students will receive a spelling list of homophones to practice at home.

Welcome to Second Grade!

I believe that parents should be informed of their child's educational journey, and hope that you will play an active role in helping your child strive to his/her greatest potential. Thank you in advance for all of your support and encouragement at home, as you are your child's greatest role model and teacher on a daily basis.  Smiling

E BLOCK

We have begun our E Block period which consists of providing extra support/enrichment to all students. Students are rotating within small groups daily to receive additional time and support with the skills that they are currently learning in class. Students are working with both grade 2 teachers as well as paraprofessionals, Mrs. Lopes, Mrs. Britto, and Mrs. Souza. Additionally, we are very lucky to have Ms. Roy, Mrs. Washko, and Mrs. Hellstrom volunteering their time. "E Block" runs Mon. through Thurs. 11:00-11:50AM.


Recess/Weather Alert

Please send your child to school dressed according to the weather for that day. Some children are not adequately prepared for the outdoor weather especially being in between seasons at this time. Please make sure your child has a warm sweater or jacket to wear so that he/she may enjoy recess outside. We know that children need recess time to rejuvenate their bodies and brains for utmost learning, and your assistance in this area is greatly appreciated.


HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday and is due the next school day. All homework is an extension of what was learned that day in class and should be completed by the student with just minimal guidance from an adult at home. Homework will consist of spelling/grammar and math. Additionally, it is expected that each child is practicing their weekly math facts each night throughout the school year.

Please note that paper flash cards go home weekly and are lettered A-Z. Once we have completed all addition facts we will begin subtraction facts.  All children should be reading as much and as often at home on a regular basis. Because homework is a necessary component that helps support learning at home, I appreciate all of your time and effort that will ensure your child's success.

*****Some children will be receiving an extra math facts practice sheet every night if they are not meeting the expectation for that week's skills.

 

****Also, please note that unfinished classwork goes home to be completed for homework with the parent's support.

Lexia Software:

Lexia is a reading program that is being used in Grades K-5. It supports reading acquisition, helps to prevent reading failure, and remediates those students having reading difficulties. It is recommended that your child have an opportunity to use the Lexia software program at home for twenty minute sessions a few times per week. It is expected that this extra practice time in addition to school time use will have a positive impact on students' reading performance. To sign into Lexia your child's username will be their first name, underscore, last name. You will need to go to "Links to Useful Websites" and download from the "Lexia Reading Student Software Downloads" in the left column...The school code is 2488 0358 0828 5319.
