Happy fall from second grade!
It’s that time of year again for conferences! Conference forms are going home today. We are offering two evenings this year, Tuesday, November 6 and Thursday, November 8 3:30-7:00 p.m. Please complete your form and return it as soon as possible! A confirmation notice with your date and time will be sent home the same day you send in the form!
We are in need of notebooks (Composition notebooks would be best!) for our interactive spelling and interactive reading notebooks. Please have your child bring 2 notebooks to school . We also need a gallon of Elmer’s white glue for a Reward Word reward that the kiddos earned- it also ties in with our Matter science unit as well! Thank you!
Homework packets are sent home on the first day of the school week and are due back the following first day of the week. Last Monday I sent home packet #5 which is due back on Monday, October 15! On Monday, October 22 I will send home packet #6.
Pizza box information is also being sent home today. Boxes will come at a later date!
Please encourage your child to learn his/her lunch pin number!
Please check your child’s Weekly Tote (white folder with the blue paw print) for weekly papers. Please remove the papers and return the tote to school. This week your child tote should have the following news from the classroom: week #8 newsletter and pizza box information letter.
My website is up and ready to view! I post my weekly newsletters, our daily schedule, the star student share schedule, information about the grade 2 common core standards and Daily 5 and some background information about me and our ABC’s on our Grade 2 Classroom.
Each week you will receive a paper copy of “The Daigneault News” which will inform you of classroom activities, upcoming events, homework information and school news. You may also visit my school website for information too! If your child lives in two houses and needs two sets of all materials sent home please let me know and I will set up an additional mailbox and/or mail materials. It’s important that I have everyone on the same page with events, progress and updates. Please let me know what works best for you and I’m more than happy to help any way I can!
I will do my best to inform you of special dates as far in advance as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Every Friday your child will bring a weekly folder home with important school news. Please remove the contents and return the weekly folder to school on Monday. If you have lunch money or an important note please label and place the item/s inside the weekly folder. This will ensure that I receive important information.
I have implemented the Home-School folder this week as well. If your child needs a folder please let me know. Daily papers and notes are placed in the folder. It would be very helpful to label all student property since children have similar items.
We have a snack break every morning upon arrival. Please make sure your child has a healthy snack and drink.
Cooler weather is approaching and your child will need to dress appropriately. Please send layers of clothing with your child so they can adjust, as the days get cooler or warmer.
Students have gym class on Wednesday. Please send sneakers and appropriate dress.
Toys and electronics are not permitted in my class unless they remain in the students’ school bag. It is the responsibility of the student if a toy/electronic is lost or damaged.
A schedule for the “Star Student of the Week” is in your child’s Weekly Tote. Each week a different student will bring home a plastic portfolio box labeled “Mrs. Daig’s Star Student”. It will be sent home on Fridays and returned on Mondays. Your child may fill the portfolio box with items that pertain to him/her. Students are asked to bring items/pictures of items to school that are meaningful like a postcard of their summer trip to Hawaii, a piece of rose quartz from a quarry they once visited, or a favorite doll that someone crocheted. Items will be shared throughout the week and returned home on Friday.
Again, I look forward to working with you and your child. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Happy fall from grade 2!
This week students focused on a very important lesson which was safety. We had two practice drills. As a class we discussed and modeled appropriate behavior during these drills (Please refer to letter from Mr. Benoit sent home last week.) Your child has special homework for you regarding our drills! I have asked my class to tell their parents the various drills practiced and their job and the teacher’s job for each one. All drills real or not are taken very seriously. Please review the expectations with your child.
Students are super excited about two upcoming projects in our room. One project is creating puppets for a kindness play. This project will be created and written at school. The second project is a writing project for our narrative unit. Students will turn a clean pizza box (I will suppy the box and information and box will be sent home at a later date.) into a book. The story will be written at school and once complete will be sent home with a pizza box and instructions.
Please remember homework packet #2 is due on Monday.

Homework
Dear Parent/s,
   Homework will begin Monday, September 17, 2018. Second graders will have “weekly” homework packets. Packets will contain a reading log and (at a later date) a “good fit” phonics or reading activity. I will send packets home on Mondays and they are due the following Monday. If your child lives in two homes I will send a homework packet to both homes so the child doesn’t have to bring their reading log/activities back and forth. Please help your second grader complete the weekly reading log/activities and return it on Monday. Second graders should not be spending more than 20 minutes a night on homework. If you find your child is laboring over an assignment or taking longer than 20 minutes please STOP! Please don’t hesitate to have your second grader stop the assignment. Frustration and tears are not my goal in sending homework home. The purpose is to practice and reinforce skills that were already pretaught. It would be very helpful if the adult jots a quick note stating if they helped the child on an assignment or the child stopped due to confusion or meltdown. This will help me in planning a “good fit” packet with work that is more at your child’s ability level. Please don’t feel that your child needs to complete all assignment PLUS read every night. Help your child develop a routine to complete their work. Your child created a “Do Not Disturb” homework monkey to hang on the doorknob to help create a good homework environment. Homework is due the following Monday so students can work around their busy schedules. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
                                   Thank you,
                                   Mrs. Daig

Cooler weather is approaching and your child will need to dress appropriately. Please send layers of clothing with your child so they can adjust, as the days get cooler or warmer.
Students have gym class on Wednesday. Please send sneakers and appropriate dress.
Toys and electronics are not permitted in my class unless they remain in the students’ school bag. It is the responsibility of the student if a toy/electronic is lost or damaged.
A schedule for the “Star Student of the Week” is in your child’s Weekly Tote. Each week a different student will bring home a plastic portfolio box labeled “Mrs. Daig’s Star Student”. It will be sent home on Fridays and returned on Mondays. Your child may fill the portfolio box with items that pertain to him/her. Students are asked to bring items/pictures of items to school that are meaningful like a postcard of their summer trip to Hawaii, a piece of rose quartz from a quarry they once visited, or a favorite doll that someone crocheted. Items will be shared throughout the week and returned home on Friday.
Again, I look forward to working with you and your child. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

week #1
                                   August 31, 2018

Hello from grade 2! Second graders have been practicing and modeling our school and classroom behaviors to pre assessments to slowly implementing our core work and taking part in getting to know you activities! It has been a busy first week!
This week our class also created a classroom constitution of rights based on our school matrix- be respectful, be responsible and be safe. Students helped to create which rights they thought were a “good fit” for our class. A copy will be sent home next week so you can review them with your child.
Please encourage your child to learn his/her lunch pin number! You child’s pin number is_______ .
Please check your child’s Weekly Tote (white folder with the blue paw print) for weekly papers. Please remove the papers and return the tote to school. This week your child tote should have the following news from the classroom: “The ABC’s of Mrs. Daig’s Classroom”, the daily schedule, the Star Student schedule, “I Can Common Core”, and week #1 newsletter.
My website is up and ready to view! I post my weekly newsletters, our daily schedule, the star student share schedule, information about the grade 2 common core standards and Daily 5 and some background information about me and our ABC’s on our Grade 2 Classroom.
Each week you will receive a paper copy of “The Daigneault News” which will inform you of classroom activities, upcoming events, homework information and school news. You may also visit my school website for information too! If your child lives in two houses and needs two sets of all materials sent home please let me know and I will set up an additional mailbox and/or mail materials. It’s important that I have everyone on the same page with events, progress and updates. Please let me know what works best for you and I’m more than happy to help any way I can!
I will do my best to inform you of special dates as far in advance as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Every Friday your child will bring a weekly folder home with important school news. Please remove the contents and return the weekly folder to school on Monday. If you have lunch money or an important note please label and place the item/s inside the weekly folder. This will ensure that I receive important information.
