Planners/Agendas in 2nd Grade... We will be continuing use of agenda/planners this school year.  Your child will write in their planner each day.  Inside the planner you will find a daily log.  Sometimes there will be nothing written for the day.  Other times, there may be a lot of information.  First graders need time to learn how to write in these and we will be working on this task the first couple of weeks of school.  There is a small space for parent comments and questions within the planner.  I check the planners each day and will respond to any comments or questions that you have written.  Planners need to be returned each day.   If these get lost, students will be expected to pay for another one at $5.00.

                               

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? Call me at school 347-2411. Thank you for your time and I look forward to another productive year with your students.                               Sincerely,                          Mrs. Abby Andrew Click Here to E-Mail Mrs. Andrew	IMPORTANT 2nd Grade Parent Information Volunteers...Click Here Click Here...Supplies
Accelerated Reader: Your child will be particpating in the Accelerated Reader program in 2nd grade. This program is designed to help your student become more fluent readers.  I will be assessing students to see what level they are reading at. This program includes tests on the computer and students are expected to read the questions.  I am expecting students to practice reading their Accelerated Reader two times before taking the test. Please be sure to have your student bring their Accelerated Reading Books back to school each day. We read them during D.E.A.R. time.                   Click Here to Find Out About Mrs. Andrew's Book Club Orders Click Here for Academic Information Click Here for Core Knowledge Information	Click on the Links Icon to visit Mrs. Andrew's Favorite Educational Websites!   Friday Folders... Each Friday, your child will bring home a folder of their work for the week.  Also included in this folder will be the class newsletter from the teacher or school.  Please take a moment to review the contents of your child’s folder with them.  What a great opportunity for your child to discuss what they have learned in school the past week!  Please be careful to return the folder each Monday, as your child will only receive one folder per quarter.  Also, use the comment section on the folder to let me know if you have any specific needs.                          Click Here for Idaho Content Standards for 2nd Grade
