Second Grade Reading• It is important to provide a time and place for your child to read

for at least 20 minutes each night.• Reading can be child to parent, parent to child, parent and child

or child alone.• Second grade reading focuses on phonemic awareness,

phonics, high-frequency word-recognition skills, extending understanding of narrative and informational text and increasing their efficiency in written communication. As well as comprehension skills and the development of fluency.

• Fluency practices speed (talking rate), accuracy and expression. • Please record nightly minutes read in planner in designated

space.

Assessments• We will have three common

assessment cycles this year. • Assessments will be in reading, writing,

math and science.• Math and science are summative

assessments.

Computer Usage• We will use computers in many ways

this year.

• Reading Counts, Riverdeep, various websites that correlate with our academics.

Homework folders are sent home daily. Please check homework daily for understanding. Homework folders are due back daily. Being responsible with homework is an important skill that should be learned

early. Please check and sign your child’s planner nightly. Graded class work and homework will be sent home in the “keep me” pocket.

Please be sure to take these papers out. There is not enough room in the folder to store them.

Homework should serve as a review of material learned in class. It should reflect the child’s work with minimal parental help. It is acceptable for parent’s to review their child’s homework and give some feedback.

*Excellent*Very Good*Satisfactory*Needs Improvement*Unsatisfactory

Discipline PlanIndividual: Number moves up or down based on choices throughout the day. Behavior

grade then goes into agenda. * If student ends day with a behavior grade of “U”, they must fill out “What I will stop doing, what I will start doing paper” and have it signed by parent. Student fills out own behavior grade in agenda if on E,V or S. If on N or U, Mrs. Shultz will fill out and explain why on and N or U.

Earn compliment cards for treasure chest. Compliment cards are given when the student exceeds expectations and sets a good example for the rest of the class.  

 Group: Marbles (every time we get a compliment while walking in the hall or

working together as a class) we cross a number off of our hundreds chart… we earn a celebration when we get 10 numbers in a row.

Team Tallies: Team with most tallies at the end of the week gets to eat lunch with Mrs. Shultz on Thursday.  

Sent home 3 times a school year:
