We will be showing your child how to use Edmodo in class beginning next week.

4 Remind 101 This year, the teachers will be using Remind 101 as a way to send class announcements and reminders via text messaging. We sent this information home on Meet the Teacher night. If you have not signed up for Remind 101, please check with your teacher.

5 Fastt Math Fastt Math enables students to develop math fact fluency in a 10 minute lesson. We will be completing Fastt Math in class but it will also be assigned as homework. Fastt Math can be accessed from McAuliffe’s home page under Academics.

6 We will hold Parent Conferences shortly after the Beginning of the Year Assessments are completed over the next few weeks. At our conference, we will share assessment results and, together, set some goals for your child. If you feel the need for a conference at any point throughout the year, please don’t hesitate to ask! Parent Conferences

7 Homework We will have a homework sheet that will go home on Mondays and be due on Thursdays. Your child will have a Homework Journal that he/she will complete their weekly homework in. Your child will choose 1 math, 1 reading/writing, and 1 spelling activity for the week. These activities will reflect what we are learning in class and will differ throughout the year. In addition to the homework sheet and journal, it is important that your child reads every night. If your child has a guided reading book assigned, it is considered homework and will need to be returned the next day.

8 Late Work Notifications If your child does not return their homework on the day it is due, he/she will receive a late work notification form. This sheet will indicate the late work and will require a parent signature. It will need to be returned the next day along with the completed work or the child will stay after school that day to complete the work until 3:45. If your child receives 6 late work notices in a 9 weeks, he/she will be assigned Responsibility Academy. Responsibility Academy is held on Thursdays until 5pm.

9 Student Planner 2 nd grade is a great time to begin encouraging responsibility! Each day, your child will write down homework information and any other important things to remember in his/her planner. Please check their planner every day and be sure to initial at the bottom of the page. McAuliffe Planner

10 Book Reports Students will be assigned 2 book reports over the course of the school year. For each report they will give an oral presentation along with a written report. These book reports will be worked on during class time. This is one of their favorite assignments of the year!

11 Project Based Learning Your child will be involved in several Project Based Learning (PBL) activities throughout the year. This allows for student choice, research and exploration. All PBL activities are done in class and over a period of time. Check out our teacher websites for a VIDEO explanation of PBL.

12 Responsibility Sheets *Your child’s Responsibility Sheet, located in their McAuliffe folder, indicates their daily & weekly behavior and represents expectations for every student. If your child disregards an expectation during the day, the Responsibility Sheet is marked by the teacher and sent home for parents to sign. Please sign your child’s sheet every Thursday. When a child receives a mark in Specials, please contact the specials teacher if you have any questions.

13 Behavior Management We are big advocates of positive reinforcement and praising children for their positive behavior. However, consistent disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and will be handled as follows: *Verbal warning (The child has the chance to correct the behavior.) *Non-verbal warning (STOP sign placed on desk as a reminder) *1st clip change: Child moves their clip and has to sit out 10 minutes of their recess time. The child’s Responsibility Sheet is marked. *2 nd clip change: The child moves their clip again and misses all of their recess time. Responsibility Sheet is marked again for that day. *3rd clip change: Phone call to parents with appropriate consequence * 4th clip change: Child is sent to the office.

14 Behavior Management, cont. Major behavior incidents (violence, outright disrespect, inappropriate language, vandalizing school property etc.) will be handled immediately without any warnings given and parents will be contacted. Each child is expected to be on his/her best behavior outside of the classroom as well, including hallways, lunch/recess, Specials, etc. Please help encourage your child to be an outstanding citizen around the clock!

15 Behavior Reflections If your child moves their clip because of a behavior issue, he/she will complete a Behavior Reflection sheet at recess. This sheet allows your child to think about their actions and how they can make a better choice next time. This sheet will be sent home for your review and signature. Please return the next school day.

16 Responsibility Sheet Celebration On the last Friday of each nine weeks from 2-2:45pm, we will have a Responsibility Sheet Celebration to reward good behavior. If your child receives 6 marks or less in a nine week period, they will be invited to the celebration. The Responsibility Sheet Celebration may be different each nine weeks and is a lot of fun!!

17 Star of the Week Every student will get a chance to be Star of the Week. The Star of the Week will fill out an All About Me Poster. The poster will be sent home the Friday before the start of the student’s Star week. No show and tell items will be brought.

18 Classroom Snacks Please only send snacks that do not need utensils. This makes it hard for your students to eat while working. No messy snacks Cut fresh fruit so that it will be easy to eat Healthy snacks are best… crackers, dry cereal, fruit snacks, granola bars, etc. Please only send 1 snack per day. ALSO, please send a water bottle with a sports top to prevent spills in the classroom.

19 Student Birthdays All birthday treats will be given to the class at the end of the school day. Please either send in the treats with your child or leave in office for your teacher to pick up and bring to the classroom. The treats MUST be STORE BOUGHT. Make sure that you have the class count to ensure everyone gets a treat. Also, it would be great if you could send in napkins too! Due to the mess, Please No cupcakes with icing. Cookies, brownies, doughnuts and muffins are super!

20 Field Trips Students will attend 2-3 field trips this year. We will do a walking field trip to City Hall, the Fire Department and the Police Department. The other 2 field trips will be determined throughout the school year and will correspond with our curriculum. We will need volunteers to accompany us, so watch for information on our websites and in your child’s McAuliffe Folder as these draw near.
