Homework Folder
I
will send homework folders home each day and the students will turn them in
each morning. Please check this folder as it will have important papers that
are sent home, notes from me if any, and contain their homework. We
will slowly transition into doing homework, but I will send an email when we
begin homework which will be a few weeks into the school year. Students will
have a reading passage due weekly, but math homework will be completed nightly.
I expect students to read at least 20 minutes each night. They will record
their minutes read on a reading log that will be turned in at the end of each
month.

River Mill has a
late work policy for students. Students will receive a 10-point deduction per day
for three days. Assignments will no longer be accepted, and students will
receive a zero on day 4. Students who are absent will be given time to complete
the missing work.
Classroom Management
In
2nd grade, we will be using class money for classroom management.
Students will earn money throughout the day for positive behaviors. Students
can lose money for negative behavior such as not listening, not following
directions, off task, or talking when they shouldn’t be. If there are any
consistent behavior problems, I will reach out to parents to discuss the issue,
so that we can work together to get the student back on track.
We
will hold a class store in December and May so students can spend their
classroom money that they have worked hard to earn. I will send more information
about this when it gets close to time for the store to ask for donations! We
will have a “savings goal” to hit after the 1st nine weeks and 3rd
nine weeks; students who hit our set goal will participate in our chosen
reward. I will also do “surprise” rewards for students showing positive
behaviors.
