Important Information and News:
• Easter/Spring vacation is from April 14-24. School will resume on Monday, April 25.
•Thank you to Mrs. Shannon for providing a snack and drink for our Easter afternoon snack on Wednesday!
• Please practice math addition and subtraction facts at home. Please use flash cards or simply ask simple fact questions whenever you have a minute or two to practice. Make it fun!
•Journal Writing Homework: Please encourage as much independence as possible when writing. Reinforce rereading sentences to proofread. Does/Do my sentence(s) make sense? Did I add punctuation and capital letters when necessary? Have I written at least 3 sentences to answer the prompt? Have I reviewed and checked my “checklist?” Correct spelling is not a priority for this activity; getting thoughts down on paper is. Stretch out words when spelling. Second graders are becoming authors and they all have a story to tell!
•*If your son or daughter has a hard time completing homework, please let me know so I can reinforce the concept in school the following day. Thank you!
•Are YOU interested in becoming a MYSTERY READER? If so, please email me so we can set up a date and time for you to “Zoom” in and share a book with our class! We hope everyone will take part in this fun activity and spend some time with us!
• Please remember to send in extra masks for your son/daughter just in case a backup is needed!
If ever you have a question or concern, please email me at [email protected].
God bless,
Mrs. Antonia Ryan
