So, please remind them of our class rules and the importance of following them. If your child needed to improve in a certain subject, please encourage them to work hard the last few days to bring that grade up. We are giving many different end of the year assessments ( math, writing, reading, and spelling) and all of our students should try their best! Thank you for your continued support.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Dear Parents,
The students have shown much interest in learning about multiplication. In second grade we focus on the concepts of multiplication before we focus on recalling the answers to multiplication problems. Please visit this website to help your student understand some of the concepts we are teaching them in the classroom. This website will help reinforce what the students are learning in class about multiplication. Have fun!

*BTW: We are planning a grade level "Math Day" to help the students prepare for the upcoming CRCT. The purpose of our math day will be to review the 2nd grade math concepts that we have taught throughout the year - addition, subtraction, money, etc. The students will rotate to each teacher's room and participate in fun, hands-on learning experiences that are related to our math standards. We are looking for parent volunteers to help us on this day. Please email msdribeiro@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping out. The date is Friday, April 18, 2008. We would love to have you:-)
Hello everyone!
This week we are continuing to prepare ourselves for the CRCT. The CRCT will begin April 23rd and will last for three days in 2nd grade. Please make sure you review the CRCT practice sheets that we are sending home daily that your student completes in class for that day.
A new month will begin tomorrow so please make sure you look over the book and spelling take home activities for the month of April. Those activities will be due on May 2nd.
Weekly homework is due on Friday. Please make sure your child reads 15-20 minutes nightly.
Are you getting your child's graded work on Thursdays? We send home graded work weekly so that you are aware of where your child is at academically. Please don't hesitate to call, email, or write a note about any concerns you have with your child's grades. We are here to help:-)
