Important Notes:
Tests: Please sign and return test slips when sent home. It is strongly encouraged that you review the tests. Test errors will always be reviewed with your child in school; in most cases, the children are able to make their corrections independently.
Homework: If your child has difficulty completing homework on any given night, please let me know with a quick note or email. This will help me focus my attention on particular concepts that need further review well before it is time for assessment. If homework cannot be completed on any given night due to other reasons, please let me know. Incomplete/missing homework is expected to be made up. Thank you!
A shoe tying competition has taken place in the second grade! We congratulated and awarded those who were successful and encourage those still learning to continue practicing tying at home. Eventually, I believe every second grader will be successful and receive recognition! Laces are often untied throughout the school day and it has become a safety issue. Let’s support the children towards independence and learning to tie! Thank you!
During Black History Month Trinity students learned a great deal! After enjoying
each second grader came up with their own ideas to make the world a better place just as Ruby did back in 1960. We learned that through her actions, she forged a path towards integration! Once our ideas were discussed we compiled them and wrote a Ruby Bridges acrostic poem. We also made a life size Ruby Bridges “paper doll” together as a group. Each child had a special job. We presented our poem and “Ruby Bridges” at this past Thursday’s schoolwide assembly.
