  • Getting Ready for Second Grade

    June 10, 2019
     
    Dear Incoming Second Grade Parents,
     
    We want to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to second grade.  We are looking forward to an exciting and challenging year ahead. 
     
    As you begin to prepare your child for second grade in September, it is necessary that you not take a “summer vacation” from some critical skills.  It is essential that you continue to stress the importance of reading.  Have your child read independently, with you, to you or you read to him or her.  Talk about the story: Ask questions to see if your child can tell you about the story that they heard or read.  Join a summer book club at your local library.  Studies have shown that reading over the summer months can greatly enhance the overall skills of young students.  Don’t let your child lose the gains they have made this past school year.   Read, read and read!
     
    Another area that your child should not take a vacation from is the review of addition and subtraction facts.  If you don’t already have a set, pick up a set of addition and subtraction flash cards.  You can get an inexpensive set at Wal-Mart, Barnes and Nobles, Target, and many other retail stores.  Please see attached note for additional information on Math Facts.  
     
    We have also included a list of the Dolch Sight words.  Your child should know these words.  Please review this list with your child throughout the summer months.
     
    SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS: In preparation for second grade, the children are required to read two books and complete assigned lessons from their SIMPLE SOLUTIONS. 
     
    MATH ASSIGNMENT: SIMPLE SOLUTIONS  Lessons 121 to 140
    Please return this book with the completed assignment the first day of school.  Special note: There are Help pages located at the back of the book should you have any difficulty with questions.
     
    READING ASSIGNMENT: 2 Required Books
    Please make sure that they do read these books and bring the books to school with them in September, as they will be completing activities based upon them in the first week of school.   We have used these books the past two years so perhaps you can borrow them from a previous second grade family.
     
    "I'm Trying to Love Spiders"  
    By Bethany Barton
    ISBN-13: 978-0670016938
     
    Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear
    by Lindsay Mattick
    ISBN-13: 978-0316324908
     
    We would like to wish you a very safe and exciting summer full of many adventures and memories.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  We look forward to meeting y
    ou in September.
     
                                                            Sincerely,         
                                                            The Second Grade Teachers

  • Second Grade Supplies

    June 10,  2019

    Dear Parents,
     
    As we say goodbye to St. Dorothy School for the summer, September seems to be a lifetime away.  However, we know the infamous “Back-to-School” sales will begin in just a few short weeks.  In order for you to be prepared to take advantage of these sales, we are sending home a list of supplies that may be purchased anywhere. (See list below.) 
     
    In addition, in September the students will need specific items from our Saint Dorothy Stationery Supplier.  A letter with the cost of these items will be given to your child during the first week of school.  These items include a LARGE pencil case, 4 specific copybooks, theme tablet, 3 durable folders and several clear page protectors.  Just a note about the LARGE pencil case: We request these because they will fit in the students’ desks.   It is not necessary to send in any other pencil cases/boxes.  Thanks for your cooperation.   ALSO, please pickup CLEAR CONTACT PAPER that will be used to cover your child’s workbooks.  These will be sent home the first week of school. 
     
     Again, the above mentioned school/grade specific items will be purchased through our Stationery supplier.  

     
    SECOND GRADE NEEDED SUPPLY ITEMS
    THESE SHOULD BE SENT IN THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
    CLEARLY LABELED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME

    • Safety Scissors
    • 24 count Box of Crayons (No larger please)
    • 6 to 8 Sharpened pencils and erasers
    • 2 small glue sticks or 1 large  
    1 NOTE: These will need to be replaced frequently throughout the year.
    • 1 Bottle of White Glue
    • OPTIONAL: Washable Markers (Thick or thin)
    • 1- 12 inch/centimeter ruler (Wooden if possible)
    • YELLOW highlighter
    • 2 RED pens or pencils (For checking work)
    • 2 to 3 dry erase marker (LOW ODOR) Suggested colors: red, black, blue and green.      No neon colors please. 
    • An OLD SOCK ~ This will be an eraser for the dry erase board and will hold their dry erase markers.
    • Watercolor paints (8 ct or 16 ct)
    • A 1 inch binder (with clear outer cover to hold a “Cover Page”)
    • 1 Pack of Xerox paper ( white )
    • EAR BUDS (not headphones)  in a baggie marked with your child’s name
    • CLEAR CONTACT PAPER TO COVER WORKBOOKS AT HOME.
     
    In addition, we are also asking that each family help to supply the needed items listed below throughout the school year.  In the past years, we have had every child bring these on the first day of school.  We have found that it can be quiet overwhelming, as well as a “challenge” to store these needed items. 
     
    This year we will assign families at a few different times throughout the school year to send in the items listed below. A list will be sent home with the time to send these items in.  We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to keep our classrooms stocked in these necessary items.  
     
    • 1 roll of paper towels
    • 2 boxes of tissues
    • 1 box of baby wipes
    • 1 container of Lysol or Clorox Wipes
    • 1 - 12ct pack of #2 pencils…sharpened please
    • 1 bottle of hand sanitizer

     
    As with all supplies, please make sure all items are clearly labeled with your child’s name.  This includes “Stationery” items, clothing, lunchboxes/bags and schoolbags.
     
    Have a wonderful and relaxing summer.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation and look forward to meeting you in September.
     
                                                              Warmly,
                                                              The Second Grade Teachers
