Dear 2nd Grade Families,

         I hope you and your loved ones continue to be safe and healthy during these challenging times. Please know that I am very appreciative for your support, communication, and patience as we continue to adjust to this new type of learning together.  That being said, I wanted to provide you with some general updates.  Please reach out to me if you need any assistance or have any other needs. I am here to help in whatever way I can.  

        Students will have the following assignments each day: 1. Do Now Activity *(See below for weekly format), 2. ELA, 3. Math, 4. Religion, 5. Science or Social Studies, and 6. an optional fun activity.

        For the writing portion of the Do Now, I will try and stick to the following routine:
                 - Monday: Write the first 5 words 3x and use each one in a sentence.
                - Tuesday: Write an additional 5 words 3x and use each one in a sentence.
                - Wednesday: Write all ten words in cursive 2x each.
                - Thursday: Take the Vocabulary Test Me quiz on Raz-Kids after playing one or more Vocabulary                    games.
                - Friday: Take the Spelling Test Me quiz on Raz-Kids after playing one or more Spelling games                 (*Raz-Kids just created these types of assignments. Therefore, please keep in mind that the                 children and I will be encountering how this part of the site works for the first time this week. We will                 make needed adjustments if necessary.)  

Other Reminders:
        -Zoom Calls: *All login information will be posted on Seesaw the night before each meeting. Mondays -         Art with Mrs. Arena (10:00-10:25 a.m.) Wednesdays- Spanish with Ms. Jess (10:25-10:50

        - Attendance: Attendance is taken by submission of that day’s electronic assignments (meaning work         that is assigned through Seesaw, Raz-Kids, or Pearson).  Failure to submit that day’s electronic         assignments will result in your child being counted as absent for the day.  (I will place two stars next to            the subject area that contains an online assignment).
        - Contact: If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at
