Note your child's username and password at the bottom, and encourage your child to play! Both the teacher AND parent can track the child's growth---it's a wonderful resource to support them with math!

Happy Second Week of School!

 Welcome to the second week of school! We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Our first newsletter was sent home in your child's yellow folder. Here it is below for your convenience. You can click to enlarge. 

Parents/Guardians, we are asking you to complete a short questionnaire to help us learn more about your child. It is in your child's yellow take-home folder, but here it is again just in case:


We also sent home information on Class Dojo! Please download the app or log on to classdojo.com and sign up for updates on your child! Your specific teacher has given you a invitation letter with your specific codes, but here is an example of what it looks like: 
Why use Class Dojo? Check out the benefits! The feedback we received from last year's parents was that Class Dojo was one of their favorite parts of second grade! 

Finally, your child received a homework helper and their first homework packet of the school year today. Please help them work everyday to complete their homework packet. If you have any questions about homework, please watch our video:



Thanks as always for your support of your child's education!
