                           More September News…

Please look over the papers in your child’s Friday Folder.  Please take the 
time to look over any mistakes and work individually on the concept that 
he/she had difficulty with.  The first month of school is a review of First 
Grade material so if your child is having difficulty, they may need extra 
help from you at home.  I encourage independent work in second grade however 
I am aware that this is difficult for many students.  Therefore the first 
quarter of school work is 90% done as a group orally before they are required 
to work independently at their seat.  Some work is even done as a whole 
group.  Students that participate, listen, and ask questions should be able 
to complete their work in a timely manner.  Each quarter, the expectation is 
raised as I encourage more work to be done independently.  If your child 
brings home more than the one task given a night (assignments written in pen 
by me is work not completed in a timely manner) on a regular basis, you may 
want to set up a conference with your child, yourself, and me to discuss ways 
we can work together to solve this issue.  So please encourage 
active listening, good work skills, and the importance of staying focused in 
class.  

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation!  Please feel free to 
set up an after school conference if you have any questions.
