Greetings! 

We have just ended another awesome week of  learning and building  classroom community. Students are working hard to  follow procedures and do their personal best.   Next  Monday, school will be closed in observance of Labor Day.  On Tuesday, I will  continue administering the  Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA).  It is an individually  administered   assessment of a child's reading capabilities.  

Field trip forms were sent  home on Thursday in your child's  communication folder.  This permission  form will cover all field studies for the year.  Please complete and return the bottom portion of the slip by September​ ​17th​.​   Payments may be made online through Parent Portal, under the “Student Fees” section.    If you choose to use this method of payment, please write a note on the top of the form indicating you have paid.  

Assessments  for reading comprehension and vocabulary will be given  each Thursday.  Students are required to read each  test question independently (unless they have an IEP).  Therefore, I encourage you to  speak to your child  about taking their time and reading each question carefully. They are  allowed to use their book when answering their reading comprehension questions.   Math assessment will be given  at the end of each unit

Please ensure that your child has a pair of headphones.

Hooray!   Our first week of school was  fun and exciting.  Students  participated in  a variety of activities to help make their  second grade experience a success.

Welcome Back to School!

Second grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. This is a year of important transitions, as well as one in which the learning of new skills is accelerated. During second grade, your child will read a variety of books, write stories, add two and three digit numbers, subtract two and three digit numbers, and so much more. I hope to make your child’s learning experience a fun and exciting one and instill a love of learning that will last throughout your child’s years of schooling.

I believe that a good parent-teacher relationship is necessary for maximum school success. Throughout the year,  I will communicate with you through a weekly newsletter on my class blog, Class Tag, student planners, telephone calls, and parent-teacher conferences. I encourage you to register with Class Tag to receive reminders and important information about  our class. You should also subscribe to my Blog Spot @ *http://msldaileysclass.blogspot.com to receive our class newsletter which will include homework assignments, important dates, weekly skills, etc.  It will be updated by Monday of each week.  

Your child will have a student planner that he or she will take home daily. Please go over the planner with your child and sign your name in the box for the correct day. It should be returned daily.   

Please log into Parent Portal to complete your child's RUP form if you have  not completed it.  You may access Parent Portal from the Richland Two homepage. Once you are logged into Parent Portal, click on "Returning Student Annual Update" and complete the information. 

I look forward to teaching your child and working with you to help your child achieve their fullest potential. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Loretta Dailey
