2nd Grade - 4th Quarter Objectives 2012/13

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Happy Spring!  Thanks to all for a successful report card pick-up.  Without your concern and constant support, successful students are not possible.  We now begin the fourth quarter, the final push of the 2012-2013 school year.  The second graders will find themselves busy until the final days of school.

During the last weeks, students will cover the  Human Body unit in Science. In Social Studies, two units remain; Discovering Our Past and People, Places, and Holidays.

Please continue to monitor all homework assignments written or otherwise.  Students should be reading nightly.  Also, continue to sign the weekly take home folder.  Ask your child if he/she has the proper supplies to complete the school year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all for the gift of their child.  It has been both a privilege and pleasure being your child’s teacher.  We are very pleased with their progress.
Below you will find a list of Math and Reading objectives for the final quarter.  Again, thanks for all you do.  Enjoy Spring!

Sincerely,
Ms. Carmody
Mrs. Clark
Mrs. Stankus

Homework
Due to the longer school day, we will alternate math and reading assignments. Spelling assignments will be given on Monday and due on Thursday. Spelling words will be written in the planner. The assignment will consist of writing the words in alphabetical order, 3 times each, and using each word in a sentence. Your child will be responsible for recording homework assignments in his/her planner and turning assignments in on time. Please check to make sure your child’s work is completed neatly and correctly.  

Also, your child will have a Friday Folder. Graded papers are passed out on Fridays and placed in this folder. Please review all papers with your child and sign the sheet inside. The empty folder must be returned on Monday.

Fruit Break/Snack
Children may bring a nutritional snack (i.e. fruit, juice pouch, crackers) to school every day for our fruit break.
