Welcome to Second Grade!

August, 2017
Dear Parents and Students,

    Welcome to Second Grade!  I am very pleased that your child is in my class.

    Let me introduce myself.  My name is Mrs. Ballnik and I am your child’s second grade teacher.  I have been enjoying teaching in Dearborn for twenty-seven years. Henry Ford is a wonderful school to be teaching at!  My teaching degree is from Eastern Michigan University where I also obtained a Master’s degree in Reading Education.  I live in Dearborn with my husband, son and daughter.

HOMEWORK FOLDER

Please watch for notes and things to send back to school in your child’s

HOMEWORK FOLDER.

EMERGENCY FORMS

Please return these EMERGENCY FORMS .

SUPPLIES

You may want to contribute supplies to the class. Your child and the class could use the following:

  • Pencil box (to keep pencils, scissors, glue stick and scissors in)
  • Pencils ( continually needed during the year)
  • Large eraser
  • Glue stick
  • Markers if desired
  • Small pencil sharpener with cover for pencil shavings
  • Small blunt end scissors
  • Box of 24 count crayons
  • Bottle of hand sanitizer (for class use)
  • Zip lock bags (any size for class use)
  • Box of Kleenex (for class use)
  • A TAKE HOME FOLDER or pocket folder for Homework (I much prefer the plastic duotang folders for their durability).

Once again, the class and I would greatly appreciate it, but you do not have to send supplies, except for pencils.

 

SNACK

Your child may bring in a healthy snack (fruits, vegetables, crackers) for the afternoon.  Snacks are eaten while we continue to work.   

 

BIRTHDAYS

If you would like to, you may send a healthy treat in for your child’s birthday.

 

LUNCH

Lunch is available to purchase or students may bring their own lunch.  Pop will not be permitted in the lunch room.  Free and reduced lunch forms will be sent home and need to be completed every year.

 

ABSENCES

It is important that you call the school if your child is going to be absent (827-4700).  If your child is late, they must check in at the office before coming to the classroom.

 

WATER BOTTLE

Please send in a water bottle with your child.  The water bottle that does not have a cap that has to be screwed on each time you drink is best.

    

    Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to write a note or call.  My e-mail address is ballnic@dearbornschools.org or you can leave a message at the office, which I will return as soon as I can. 

    Second grade is my favorite grade and I hope to make it your child’s favorite also!   I am looking forward to a wonderful and productive year working with you and your child.  It is with your support that your child will be the most successful in school.

         See you at Open House on September 14,
Mrs. Ballnik  🙂
