Welcome to 2nd Grade 2014-15 Letters

August 1, 2014 Dear Star Student, I was delighted when I found out that you were going to be in my class. My room is located downstairs, #A-8. Our class name will be: Mrs. Haight’s Star Students. Our class motto is: Reach for the Stars. This year you will shine and become the star student you are. You will be reading all kinds of stories. You will learn about animals, rocks, weather, matter, gravity, the moon and the wonderful world we live in. Second grade math will be so enjoyable that you won’t even know you are learning! You will learn about the writing process as you write each day. You are going to have a great year! On the first day of school, you will need to bring the following items: • The enclosed monster page about you for a class book…(Parents, please have your child color the monster and fill out anything he/she possibly can in his/her own handwriting. Glue or tape a recent picture in the box – perhaps last year’s school picture.) • The blue paper that is enclosed (Parents, please complete both sides for your child). • The lilac “Student Photograph Release” paper (filled out and signed) Optional items: • A small pencil box. (Your desk can’t hold a big pencil box.) • A water bottle with a tight fitting lid to set on your desk. (The first few weeks of school get rather warm.) • An empty plastic 2-liter pop bottle. (We are going to launch water rockets on the first day. See what you can find out about rockets before the 15th.) I am looking forward to being your teacher this year! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at school @ 586-2850 or at home @ 586-2189. Love, Mrs. Haight
