Transportation
• A transportation list is created that states each student’s way home from school (bus number, walker, car rider, AYS).
• Anytime and every time your child is to go home from school any way other than his or her normal way, you MUST SEND A NOTE or CALL THE OFFICE. Please do NOT send an email as I may not receive it in time.

Daily Class Work
• We will do a lot of work together, especially at the beginning of the year.
• Letter grades will not appear on graded class work. Students will receive stars, stamps, stickers, happy faces, etc.
• Some work may be marked as a fraction. For example: 9/10.
• Please go over completed papers at home to see if your child understands what was missed.

Spelling
12 words per week• These will follow the Journey’s curriculum program
that we adopted for Language Arts last year.
• A dictation sentence including current and past words will be given each week as well.
• We will also be looking for application in students’ writing.
![Page 9: Welcome to Second Grade! Teachers Mrs. Stacie Eller Mrs. Leah Johnson Mrs. Caroline Pease Ms. Carrie Spencer](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649d9d5503460f94a86437/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Writer’s Workshop
• Students will write everyday. Most of this work will be done in our Writer’s Notebooks and Journals so you will not see it coming home on a regular basis.
• Our focus will be listening for the sounds in each word, utilizing the word wall, leaving a finger space between words, using capitals and punctuation, and writing complete sentences.
• We highly encourage students to choose their topics, etc. CHOICE IS VOICE!

Handwriting
• We use Handwriting Without Tears• Proper letter formation• Top down – no push ups!• Use the lines (they are different)• Our main goal is legibility and no frustration

Math
• All Noblesville Elementaries use Everyday Math.
• Learning addition and subtraction facts is crucial. They will be practiced at school daily, and it is an expectation that they will be practiced at home each night as well.

Suggestions

10 minutes!
