Hello Second Grade Families,

We are really getting into the swing of things now, working to build stamina and momentum as we begin to establish our daily classroom routines. This week we will have our first homework assignment due too. All of the online summer homework should be complete by Wednesday.

Starting next week, students will take home weekly fluency and reading logs every Tuesday in a folder marked “Homework”. I will print these out for you. Along with this, I will sometimes include helpful supplementary materials that mirror and support the lessons taught in class. The previous week’s completed fluency passage and Reading Log will always be due on Tuesday mornings. On that day or the day after, I will also send out new ones for the week.

IXL Math Homework will begin the following week. Students will be expected to complete the three skills listed in the week’s newsletter. Like the reading log and fluency, students will have until Tuesday mornings to complete these.

As we get up and running, please be sure to change your child’s grade level to second before placing any hot lunch orders.

Finally, the students will begin music and P.E. classes this week. From now on, please send your child to school wearing his/her P.E. uniform on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, don’t forget your (reusable) water bottles!

Mark your calendars: I look forward to meeting you Wednesday evening at 6:30 for Back-to-School night!

Best,

Ms. Espinosa
