SUPPLIES

I have all the supplies we will need to start the school year, but if each student can help out by donating 3 of the following consumables, it would be a huge help as the year goes on!

  • Tissues

  • Plastic baggies

  • Wipes

  • Hand sanitizer

  • Post-its (3x3” or 1.5x1.5”) 

SNACK

Please send a small, healthy snack to school with your child each day. We will have a short, mid-morning snack. Please also send a non-disposable water bottle for your child to keep at their tables. I will send these home at the end of each week.

RULES

During the first six weeks of school, second grade students will work together to set individual goals.  Then, as a class, they will brainstorm what they will need from themselves, one another, and their teacher in order for everyone to achieve these goals. From these ideas, we will agree on rules that will help everyone learn and grow.

General Information: FAQ

BIRTHDAYS

You are welcome to send in a small birthday treat for the class on or near your child’s birthday.  Please contact me to coordinate a date prior to the celebration.  If your child has a summer birthday we can set up a day in May or June to celebrate.  Please include any necessary utensils along with the birthday treat (napkins, spoons, cups, etc.).  Do not send birthday party invitations or thank you notes to school with your child unless the entire class has been invited to the party.

RECESS

We have recess every day at 12:30 and students go outside in almost any weather.  Please make sure your child comes to school dressed to play outside (rain boots, snow boots, hats, gloves, etc.).  Remember to write your child’s name on  everything that you send to school (including backpacks, water bottles, hats, gloves, lunch boxes, snow pants…). You are welcome to leave these in your child's cubby or bring them each day.

TAKE-HOME FOLDERS

Your child will bring home their Take-Home folder in their backpack every afternoon.  This folder is what your child will use to share any important notes or announcements.  Please help your child go through this folder and take out all papers every day.  You should also use this folder to send back any notes for the office or me as well.  It is very important that your child bring their home/school folder back to school every day.

HOMEWORK

Homework does not officially begin at Shutesbury Elementary School until third grade.  It is an expectation, however, that all second grade students read for at least 20 minutes outside of school each day.
