Games on Friday

Dear Parents,

On Friday our second grade class will be having a fun afternoon playing board games.  In order to participate in Game Board fun, each student must have had all of the following items turned in this week: planners, homework, and Wednesday folders. In order to play in NEXT week's game day, the following items need to be brought in: red folders, planners, homework, STM library books, supplies, and papers for the office including tardy passes. In an effort to help students feel more successful and empowered, I encourage parents to establish a solid routine regarding homework time, reading and returning signed papers in a timely manner, as well as staying current with the class blog. As the primary educator, your student will value the feelings of accomplishment when having completed homework ready and on time. And together you and your student will cultivate and nurture the development of being responsible for school work and important papers and notices.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Mrs. Byrne
