In Second Grade, we are very busy.  In Math, we learn about time, measurement, shapes, math facts up to 20, fractions and money.  Explorers, continents, birds, spiders and simple machines are topics we learn about in social studies and science.  We look at poetry and write several  different kinds.  In reading,  we read an assortment of stories.  Second Grade is fun!!!!

*  My classroom is a place that is run using the Golden Rule – Trest others as you want to be treated.

*  The three R’s are a critical part of how my classroom is run.  Respect, Responsibility and Readiness are talked about and expected from the children.

* Weekly homework is sent home on Friday and expected back on the 

      following Thursday.

* Work is graded by the rubric that was sent home.

*  There may be occasional long term assignments, which should be

     returned on the given date.
