I am so excited to have your child in class this year! I am confident that we will have a terrific year, full of learning and fun. I look forward to working together with you to help your child grow as a reader, writer, and learner. Please take a few minutes to read the following information and learn a little more about the workings of your child’s second grade class.
Schedule
Your child will have special classes on the following days:
Please help your child be prepared each day with gym shoes. An extra pair may always stay in your child’s locker.
Library books are checked out for 2 weeks and must be returned in a timely manner to avoid suspension of library privileges and library fines.
- MONDAY: P.E. and Library
- TUESDAY: P.E. and Music
- WEDNESDAY: P.E. and Music
- THURSDAY: P.E. and Art
- FRIDAY: P.E. and Music

Birthday Celebrations
Every child loves to feel special, so on their most special day, their birthday, we celebrate together. We celebrate birthdays as a class by singing to the birthday child and playing a birthday game. You are welcome to send in a non-food treat (i.e.- pencils, stickers, bookmarks, etc.). We have 18 children in our class this year. Your child may bring this treat with him/her in the morning, as parents do not join the classroom celebration. For children with summer birthdays we will celebrate a half birthday. A reminder note will be sent home indicating the date we will be celebrating your child’s birthday at school.
Star Student
As a way to continue to build community in our classroom and to get to know one another better, each student will be a Star Student of the Week during the school year. The Star Student of the Week will be asked to share the following:
MONDAY: Up to 6 pictures and completed “My Me Poster”
WEDNESDAY: Favorite story to be read aloud to the class
FRIDAY: Estimation jar
**More detailed information regarding Star Student of the Week will also come home with your child the week before it is his/her turn to be our Star Student of the Week.
