* My Hidden Curriculum* Each day I will be working on the following with your children: how to follow rules, how to share, and take turns. I will be teaching that there are consequences for all actions. I will show them how to solve their own problems, how to be responsible, and how to be safe. I hope to help them develop a good work ethic, and see the value in completing an assignment well. I will be helping them to develop their sense of humor, and most importantly, their self-esteem. Although not measured on any standardized test, I feel these are the most important gifts I can give your children. Daily Classroom Schedule:
8:00-8:10 Roll, Morning Business 8:10-9:30 Math 9:30-10:15 P.E.(Tues.&Fri.)/E.L.A. (Mon. &Thurs.) 10:15-10:35 Recess 10:35-12:10 Literacy Groups 12:10-12:55 Lunch 12:15-1:40 E.L.A. 1:40-2:10 E.L.D.-2X/ZPD-3X 2:10-2:35 Science, Social Studies, or Enrichment |
Dear second grade families,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Room 25! I have planned a challenging and exciting curriculum for the year. We have a wonderful class with many special projects and units planned. My goal as a teacher is to have all my students reading and writing on or above grade level before they enter third grade. Therefore, I will put major emphasis on reading. We have several intervention programs to help all students be successful readers. I encourage your support by reading to or with your child whenever possible. Let's work together to make a great future for your children! I look forward to working with you and your child. If you have any questions or concerns during the school year, please call, email, or send a note with your child so we can set up a time to meet. Working together, we will create a positive and rewarding experience for your child in 2nd grade. Sincerely, Mrs. O'Brien |
