Thank you, parents for entrusting me with your child’s education. I knew I wanted to be a teacher in second grade. And here I am, 20 years of teaching later…..
We are beginning the year slowing…establishing rules and routines. I would appreciate your support when there is a PBiS color change. I will be changing colors when directions (directions are always given twice) are not followed or behavior is inappropriate. I need to be diligent and set my expectations high – this will determine how the rest of the year will be.
As far as curriculum, we have started going over procedures for Daily 5 and talking about CAFE strategies. Children have picked Good Fit Books. We are currently working on Unit 1 in math – getting comfortable with the number grid, elapsed time and organizing data. In science we are learning what a scientist does, what they use and what they do. We will begin our unit on Forces and Motion next week. Finally, in Social Studies, we are learning “where in the world Dearborn is”.
Open House is next Thursday the 18th. I cannot wait to meet you. Please remember, this is a time to meet me and other teachers, see what your child has been working on, see the classroom and tour the school. Please save your concerns for emails/phone calls or conferences. Thank you.
