Parents,
What a great first week of school we had. Don't forget to call or stop by after school if you have questions or concerns. Things will continue to improve in the next few weeks while we iron out the wrinkles. Parents of second graders: please continue to stress the importance of sitting quietly and following along in class. I don’t read the textbook material to them, they read orally each day. Students should be following along and keeping up with what is being read so that they know what’s going on when we discuss the material.
Obviously, it is blazing hot outside, and my classroom gets rather warm in the afternoon. Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to school if they would like water in class.
A few things to remember:
Check the class web page weekly: http://mrseckertsclassroom.blogspot.com/
Be sure and fill in the church and Sunday school page each weekend in the student's folder. If no response is given, attendance will be recorded as 'no.'
I am sending home Scholastic book orders today. If you order books for your child, please make checks out to Scholastic. If at all possible, checks are much easier for me than cash. This month's book orders are due on Friday, September 3. You may also order online. I will attach instructions on how to do that to the order forms. Online orders will also be due by Friday.
Going home today are their crosses for Star Students. Please have them color and fill these out and return them with a photo.
Thursday will be our first Social Studies Test. A study sheet will go home on Wednesday(Tuesday). I do give an extra 5 points to their grade if their study sheet is returned with notes written on it.
Thanks again for a great first week!
In Christ,
