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.

I am looking forward  to having to a fantastic year with your child.   

Second Grade students will take the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) test on Tuesday  and  Thursday.  This is a computerized  test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.

Welcome to 2nd Grade!

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.   Some registration forms were distributed during Back to School Night.  If you were unable to attend, you should check your child’s binder for their form.  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.   

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
