Welcome to 2nd Grade!Welcome to Wever World and the Second Grade classroom of Room 124! I am very excited to learn with you and your child this year. I have put together some information that I feel will be helpful to ensure a better understanding of our classroom procedures and other general school policies for you. Below are some hints for making your child’s transition 2nd grade successful.

Your child knowing his/her daily transportation plans to and from school is very important. If your child is a “walker”, rehearsing the route would make sure he/she knows the way. Helping your child memorize his/her bus number will assure a safe ride home.

Please provide an appropriate sized backpack for your child to bring to school EVERY DAY.

Please have your child dress appropriately for the changing weather here in Michigan.

Emphasize that “home” toys stay at home and school objects stay at school.

Children who eat a good breakfast every day and get plenty of rest seem to be the students who master most curriculum objectives with the least amount of trouble.

Please remember to inform us of any changes (such as a family move or changes in your child’s daily transportation routine). These kinds of changes affect behaviors in the classroom. Also, it is important for me to get any new contact information that may change as well.

This is my second year teaching 2nd grade at Red Cedar. I am a Spartan fan through and through! I got my undergraduate degree in English from MSU, and I am now working towards my Master’s degree in Educational Technology. Speaking of technology, you will notice that we will be working with it a lot in our classroom this year. We have a SMART Board, a document camera, and a sound field system that we will work with daily. I am very passionate about

integrating technology into my lessons, and I’ve seen how it can motivate and engage students. So, I am excited for your children to have the opportunity to learn in the 21 st

Century.

As for my personal life, I am married to a wonderful man and have two busy children. Kaleb is 7 and he is in Mrs. Berry’s 2nd grade class. Collin is 3 and he gets to stay home with his Grandpa during the day and play on tractors. I like to travel with my family, do artsy-crafty activities, and I LOVE to read! I can’t wait to read you some of my favorite books this year!

I am looking forward to working together with you and your child this year.

Again, welcome and we are going to have a wonderful year together!
