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.
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 #5 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.
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.
