________________________________________________ Second Grade Handbook
Classroom Management Our class will follow Cedar Fork’s motto: SHINE! S-Show safe behavior H- Have a positive attitude I- I will be a team player N- Never give up E- Expect success In addition, our class will have the following STAR expectations: S- Stay where you belong T- Talk only when appropriate A- Always follow directions the first time R- Respect all people and belongings On the first day of school, we will discuss how these will look in our classroom. If a child is not abiding by the classroom expectations, he/she will be asked to complete an expectation slip, which I will sign and then staple in his/her planner at the end of the day. If necessary, I will meet with the student to discuss the situation. Having to complete expectation slips will incur the following consequences: 1st slip: Warning 2nd slip: Phone call to parent 3rd slip: Principal’s Office If a student does not have a slip stapled in their planner, s/he abided by all expectations that day. Rewards I believe that students should be rewarded for good behavior. These are the rewards in our classroom: If a student abides by all expectations for the day and does not complete a slip, s/he will put his/her name on a ticket and put the ticket into a jar. At the end of each week, I will pull a number of tickets. These students will get choose a reward of our Reward Menu. I will also designate a “Clean Chair Pocket” of the week for a student who keeps his desk area and chair pocket clean and organized. B.E.E. Binders This 3-ring binder houses everything students and parents need to keep up-t0-date with what is going on at school. B.E.E. binders are important! They help students to establish good organizational skills which carry on throughout their time in school! They contain: money/notes pocket, reading log, spelling grid, Tuesday folder (blue), Homework folder (green), Class list, schedule, and Wake County calendar. Homework Each day (except Friday), your child will bring home a planner with their homework assignments written in it. Each student will havea a GREEN Cedar Fork homework foldser in his/her B.E.E. Binder which contains the assignments for the week. Completed homework is due on Friday. The children will write their homework down for different nights but they can work at their own pace during the week. Tuesday Folders On Tuesdays, your child's BLUE Cedar Fork folder, filled with notices, school information, and assessments, will be found in his/her B.E.E. binder . Please make sure that you look at it,empty it out, and sign the parent signature sheet on the back of the envelope. Please make sure you review the paper clipped assessments with number grades on them and return them to me inside the Tuesday Folder. It is very important that I have them back so that they can be placed inside your child’s portfolio. Weekly Newsletter Every Monday your child will receive our classroom’s weekly newsletter in his/her homework folder. The newsletter will have pertinent information valuable to you and your child. Please be sure to read it each week. Your Child’s Education I teach according to the second grade objectives on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. More specific information about the second grade curriculum will be shared at Open House on September 13th. Please consider making arrangements to attend. School Attendance Official school hours are from 8:45-3:45. Children may not arrive at the classroom before 8:45. If a child arrives after 9:05 he/she must get a tardy slip in the office. If a student needs to leave early, they must be signed out in the office. If your child’s transportation arrangements will be different on any give day, you must write me a note specifically stating the change. If your child is absent from school for any reason, you must send a note upon their return. This absent note is required by the office for each absence. Grading Scale Students will be graded on a scale from 1-4. Papers marked with a “P” are practice work, not assessments. More information about grading will be presented at Open House. Specials Schedule Every day the students will go to a special class from 10:50-10:35, with the exception of Day 3 when our specials are from 9:10-9:55. This is a rotating schedule.

If you need to contact me, I can be reached at the school at 388-5240 and I will call you back as soon as I get the message. I will also respond to letters. Please tell your child to give me any communication first thing in the morning. In addition, I check my email every day. My email address is cdalecki@wcpss.net. Please also utilize the classroom website (linked to the Cedar Fork website) I look forward to working with you and your child this year. I know it’s going to be a terrific year!
