WELCOME BACK

Dear Second Grade Parents and Students,

Welcome back!  I hope that you have had a very healthy and happy summer.

Science will be taught by Mrs. McGrath twice a week according to the NYS core curriculum.  We will be incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) wherever possible.

We will be working with a new Math Consumable Textbook.  The math is the same but the book itself is quite different.  I will send it home one night for your perusal but then it will remain in the classroom as it is too heavy to carry home every night.  We will tear out the pages for homework.

Please keep in mind that it is very important that the girls be on line by 8:20 am, as class begins at 8:30 am.  The girls should be in full uniform every day except gym day which is Thursday.  The only acceptable headbands are plain navy, black or white.  The girls may only were stud earrings or huggies.

Homework will be given on a daily basis.  I expect all homework in school the next day unless otherwise specified.  Adequate notice will be given for all tests.  The girls should study a little bit each night.

On the first day of school, I will teach the children a heading that is to be used for all homework, as well as, on all tests.

I will be teaching Religion, First Reconciliation, and First Holy Communion.  At the present time, we do not have a date for either Sacrament.

If you have any questions, please write a note(the homework notebook is a good idea) and I will answer you as promptly as possible.

God Bless!

WELCOME BACK!

Dear Second Grade Parents and Students,

Welcome back!  I hope that you have had a very healthy and happy summer. 


 Science will be taught by Mrs. McGrath twice a week.  The girls will be working with the NYS curriculum and incorporating STEM into this particular subject area.
As a class we will also include STEM wherever possible in our other subject areas.

We will working with a new Math Consumable Book.  The contents of the Math will remain the same but the book itself is quite different.  I will send the book home for your perusal one night and then it will remain in the classroom.  The book is just too heavy to bring home nightly, so we will tear out what we will use for homework.

Please keep in mind that it is very important that the children be on time for school.  We begin at 8:30 am.  The girls should be in full uniform every day - only PLAIN white, navy or black headbands are acceptable, earrings should be posts, or huggies, school shoes should be worn except on physical educations days, which are Thursdays.

Homework will be given on a daily basis.  I expect homework to be completed and handed in the next day.  Adequate notice of all tests will be given and the girls should study a little bit each night. 

On the first day of school, I will teach the children how to write a heading in their notebook.  The heading is to be used for all homework, as well as, tests.

I will be teaching Religion, First Reconciliation, and First Holy Communion.  As of the present time we do not have a date for either Sacrament.

If you have any questions, please write a note and I will answer it as promptly as possible.

God Bless!
Mrs. Romano
