All students are coming up with goals for the school year. They will each have an academic goal and a personal goal. The personal goal could be something such as working on behavior, responsibility, kindness, or organization. I am meeting with the students one on one about their goals and how they will work towards achieving their goals. The students will sign their goals. When I have met with all students, they will be bringing home their goals for you to sign. I will also be signing their goals. Once we have all signed the goals, I will be sending home a copy for you to keep at home. We will be revisiting their goals throughout the year and adjusting them as needed.

Talk to your child about their goals for second grade!

Ms.Donoghue’s second grade class is looking for a parent to support our students by being a parent ambassador. This person will essentially reach out to our parents to seek support throughout the school year in different capacities. If you can devote a 1-2 hours a week, please email me. With all the activities and projects we would like to engage our students in, additional support is always needed. Thank you.

Also, students must bring their planners to school each day. Many students are leaving them at home. Also, students should have pencils at school daily. It would be helpful if students had their own pencil sharpener with a cover.
