Parent ~ Teacher Conferences

Hello Second Grade Families,
Our Parent-Teacher Conferences are right around the corner.  Please know that I have been creating a tentative schedule for the conferences that are to take place on Thursday, September 27th and Friday, September 28th.  Once the tentative schedule is complete, I will e-mail you a copy.  I am hoping to have it sent to you by tomorrow. However, if the day and or time of the conference will not work with your schedule, I am available to meet after school on Monday the 24th, Tuesday, the 25th, Wednesday the 26th, and Thursday the 27th.  However, please know that my schedule is limited due to time constraints and having 24 wonderful families in which to conference with.  Please check your child's homework folders by Tuesday, September 18th for your family's scheduled conference time.  If the time that is scheduled does not work with your schedule, please contact me as soon as possible and I will do what I can to change the date and time.  Thank you in advance for your patience, efforts, and flexibility as we iron out the final conference schedule.  I look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss your child's strengths and areas in which to grow.  Please continue reading to discover all that will be taking place this week both inside our classroom and right here at ACS.

Hello Second Grade Families, We have arrived at the very last week of school!  This week is going to be super simple as I am now busily grading assessments, working on your child's report cards, and completing cumulative files for your children.  Inside your children's summer gift from me was a "memory book" for the students to work on.  I'd highly encourage having your children complete a few pages each day to assist them in practicing their writing skills.   Also, have you heard of the "summer slide?"  The summer slide is a term educators use to explain children "sliding back" in their learning due to not engaging in any academic activities over the course of the summer.  However, there's a way to prevent your child from experiencing the summer slide.  Research indicates, that students who read daily and practice their math skills often avoid the summer slide.  Here are a few tips to assist your child this summer.
