I have the opportunity to utilize 7 spots in the afternoon with this wonderful program that is so individualized to students’ needs, called SuccessMaker. Since I do have such limited access to this program at school, I am encouraging, not requiring, you to use this at home.  It can only be accessed after 4pm from home. The school only has 32 licenses available for use at any one time. So if you go onto it and it does not work, that means other Quest students are utilizing it. It would be so good for your child to do this at home. Theye can do Math or Reading and it is such a smart program that it truly is individualized to kids’ abilities. The program can be accessed through the Quest website, its called SuccessMaker, login is first and last name, password: rams. Any parents that want their child to have extra practice, please please utilize this wonderful program! Mrs. Cashin

Please have your children keep their toys at home. We are having too many problems with kids loosing toys and kids taking or trading their toys with other kids. Please no bay blades, barbies, etc. Bringing outside equipment such as soccer balls is fine. We have balls and other outside equipment for them to use, so PLEASE keep the toys at home. All recess attendant’s have been notified and toys will be confiscated if they are caught with them outside. Thank you for your support in making our second grade a fun, safe place to be!

Each student has a dry-erase marker in their pencil box for daily math use. We also use them for centers and for the classroom white board. Our markers are getting utilized so much that they are running out, please help! The small point markers work best for student to use, thank you thank you thank you!!

I am starting a new center that will help my students learn their addresses and phone numbers! Today when I send home Homework Notebooks, I will put an index card in their folder pocket for your child to write their phone number and address on, in their very best handwriting. Please return these on Monday so I can get them laminated and ready for the center. Thank you!!
