Week of:
Sept.6th-Sept. 9th

Welcome Families,
We had a great first week in second grade! Students are still getting used to our new
classroom and expectations for success this year. Last week we decided on our class rules
together:
Be
respectful
Be
safe
Follow
Directions
Always
try your best
We have talked a lot about
what these rules mean and how to follow them.
At home, you can follow-up on these kinds of discussions. We also talked about Bucket Filling. We read the book, Have You Filled a Bucket
Today? By Carol McCloud. This book
talks about using nice words and actions to make ourselves and others feel
good. We are using a class bucket (which
is already over half-way full!) this year.
Individual students as well as the class as a whole can earn scoops in
the bucket from good behavior. When the
bucket is filled, the class will receive a reward.
Our Specials Schedule is listed on the back. I will also be posting this on my blog: http://thepalermopost.blogspot.com/. Our class will do swimming at the YMCA this
year. Our scheduled dates are: 5/8, 5/10, 5/12, 5/15,
5/17, 5/19, 5/22, 5/24, 5/31, and 6/2.
More information on this program will be sent closer to our start date.
If you have any
questions, please call the school, email me: alipal1@gpsk12.org or write me a
note in the O.W.L. binder.
Homework
this week: We have no formal homework
yet. Please try to read with your child
each night!
All the Best,
Mrs.Palermo
