Special Notes

February is "I Love to Read" month.  If your child reads a non-AR book during this month, please sign their planner and list the title, author, # of pages and your initial.  Thank you.  Happy Reading  :-) 

Please have your students have an extra pair of socks and mittens/gloves in their pocket.  Often these get really wet outside at recess and if they have an extra pair, they have a dry pair to wear home.

 

Second graders, please practice subtraction of 6's, 7's, & 8's

Third graders, please practice multiplying by 3's, 4's, 5's, 7's, 8's, & 9's.

Welcome to Second/Third Grade

Mrs. Sanow

 Rules and Consequences

Rules:


1. I will listen and follow directions from all adults.
2. I will keep my hands and feet to myself and my own property.
3. I will respect others and their property.                                                                                                                                4. God has given me many gifts and I will use them the best I can!

Every child will begin the day with a green colored card in our Behavior Chart. If the child chooses to break a rule after a verbal reminder, his card will be changed to yellow. Continued misbehavior will result in the card changing to blue and finally red. The student can earn his green card back by improving behavior for the remainder of the morning or the afternoon, meaning he will begin the rest of the day.  Children who are doing a GREAT job will have their cards changed to PURPLE for positive reinforcement and setting an example for the rest of the class.  Every child will start the day with a green card.


Consequences:

Excellent Behavior:  Card will be changed to PURPLE.
First Offense: A verbal reminder as a warning.
Second Offense:  Change card on behavior chart from green to yellow and a consequence depending on their behavior.
Third Offense: Change card to blue and a consequence depending on their behavior and a note home that must be signed and returned.
Fourth Offense: Change card to red and parents will receive a phone call and a meeting with teacher, parent and child will be set up.


Homework  

In second grade the students will be bringing home homework every night.  It is not a lot of homework and should not take long to do.  Students will bring home math homework.  We will have done the guided practice side of the paper together as a class and your child will need to do the homework side at home.  The homework side is the same as the guided practice side just different questions.  As we get further into the math lessons they will also be bringing home math facts homework.  On occasion there may be reading homework, but for the most part that will be finished in class.

My Goal

My goal for the year is to motivate the students to be lifelong learners and to teach the students how to use the gifts that God has given them.  I want to teach them knowledge and skills to reach their highest potential in an environment that feels welcoming and safe.   

If you have any questions or concerns at an time feel free to contact me at the school (629-3270) or you can email me at lisasanow@hotmail.com.   Also if something comes up in the evening feel free to contact me at home from 5-10 PM, (507)629-9132.

 Sincerely, Lisa Sanow
