We have been working on learning and understanding the expected Frederick Five behaviors throughout our day at school. Please check your child's Friday Folder for an outline of these expectations. All families are asked to review these behaviors and return the signed contract this week.
Homework also came home in your child's Friday folder. A homework packet will be sent each Friday and will not be due until the following Friday. If the homework packet is complete, it can be turned in at any time during the week. Homework will typically consist of 2-3 pages, in addition to home reading and weekly spelling practice (which will begin soon!).
Home reading begins tomorrow, MONDAY, AUGUST 27th. Students should be reading "just right" books, for 20 minutes Monday - Friday, followed by a comprehension check. You can click on the HOMEWORK tab to review my expectations and policies in regard to both homework and home reading.
This Thursday, August 30th, will be our Parent Information Update Night at 5:30. We hope you can join us! Following the school wide presentation, the Second Grade team will be covering our policies and routines for the year as well as giving families a chance to ask any questions they may have.
Please be sure to check the IMPORTANT DATES tab - it includes information about upcoming events, as well as the days we have P.E., so students know to wear those tennis shoes!
Friendly Reminders:
There will be no school on September 3rd in honor of Labor Day.
Thursday, September 13th will be our first Community Information night about our move to becoming a K - 8 next year. Please plan to come learn about the plans for this change as well as give your input on many different aspects!
