Classroom Rules:
1-Be respectful
2-Be responsible
3-Listen to others
4-Use kind words
5-Always be ready to learn
6-Do your BEST!
These 6 rules are important to the
classroom culture and me.
Explaining these rules to my
students and collectively coming up
with consequences will help
construct a fair community, where
students will know and understand
what is expected from them.
Connecting Home &
School:
It is both easy and common to feel
disconnected to your child’s academic
life when they are reluctant to let you
know what is happening while they are
in school. With that said, involvement
in your child’s education is an
imperative indicator of their academic
success!
I wish to be your partner in helping to
make sure your child is meeting their
full potential! There are so many
different platforms in which you and I
can communicate. Email, Google
Classroom, phone calls, meetings,
weekly newsletters and more! If any of
these works for you, please contact me
anytime!

Classroom Routines:
Entering the Classroom- As the
students walk in to start the day, we
will develop a plan that gets them
focused and ready for the day to
come. This will help develop a
environment for a successful school
day.
Lining Up- Being quiet and courteous
in the hallways is a general school
rule. We are showing respect towards
our friends by remaining silent.
Recess- Our main goal is to stay safe
and friendly while also having fun!
We will practice patience and sharing
in our environment.
How can I help my student
succeed?
Read everyday! Pick a book your child
enjoys and you can read to them or
let them read to you.
Encourage your child in all areas of
academics! Even if a subject doesn’t
excite you, help them get excited
about it.
Stay involved! Make it a point to ask
them about their day.
Communicate – please remember
that you can always contact me with
any questions or concerns.

Hello Friends,
I am looking forward to being your
child’s 2nd grade teacher! It is going to
be a great year full of new friends,
new adventures and new discoveries!
In this classroom…
Your children are appreciated. I
value all opinions, ideas, thoughts,
and actions. I know they will be
brining so much to our class and I
cannot wait to learn more about
them!
Homework Polices:
Students will be assigned no more
than 30 minutes of homework.
Typical homework will include 20
minutes of reading either
independent or with a partner.
Reading for 20 minutes every day
can significantly increase the
chances of your child’s educational
success.
Also, sent home will be occasional
math practice sheet or spelling
words intended for practice.
