What if I need to pick up my child early?
You will need to sign your child out in the office and they will call our classroom. I will promptly send them on their way. No one will be allowed to pick up a child from the classroom/lunchroom. When scheduling appointments, keep in mind we have math in the afternoons! And no checkouts will be permitted after 2:15.
Does my child have homework tonight?
Unless informed otherwise, your child will have nightly homework Monday-Friday. They have a speller's choice activity, math worksheet, and reading every night. These are predictable, quick ways to practice what we do in class.
How is my child graded?
Second graders are assessed formally each 9 weeks in reading using the k-2 Literacy Assessment. Math is assessed after each unit. Of course, I informally assess every day! Through conferences, child watching, and classwork I learn plenty about my students. More info will be shared with parents at Open House and conferences.

How can I order from Scholastic book clubs?
