Mrs. McKermitt's Second Grade/Room 31

Welcome to Room 31!  Second grade is such an exciting grade to teach.  The chidren are anxious to make their First Holy Communion and they are becoming much more independent.  I look forward to a new year with new friends and can't wait to get back into a classroom routine.

Welcome to Second Grade!

Hello Second Grade Parents! 

 

Welcome to 2nd Grade!  The air conditioner works well so our classroom does get chilly for some students.  If you’d like, send your child to school with a navy or forest green fleece/sweater/sweatshirt with the SJS logo. Other sweaters/ sweatshirts may not be worn. Please refer to the office email or school blog regarding the uniform policy. Feel free to leave at school or keep it in your backpack. Please label all clothing. If you haven’t turned in all the supplies, please send them in at your earliest convenience.  

 

*If you brought in wireless headphones without the charging cord, please bring in the  cord. If you still need to bring in wireless headphones, please bring the charging cord in with it. You may also purchase the headphones through the office, please tell them you are purchasing the wireless 2nd grade headphones. 

 

Second grade will dismiss the students from door 8.  If you have more than one child at St. Juliana, you may want to take advantage of our Sibling Meet Up.  At the end of the day, siblings will meet each other in the room across from the office and be dismissed out of door 1 together.  Please let us know if you are interested in this option so that we can have your child dismissed from the correct door.  

 

Please fill out and return any necessary forms that went home today.  A copy of the Specials schedule also went home. Room 31 has PE on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please dress in P.E. uniform on those days.  

 

I’ll see you tomorrow!!

Last Full Day of Second Grade

*Tomorrow we have Mass at 9:30.  Wear Spirit Wear and we will be dismissed from school after Mass. Bring your Backpack for your Report Card and any left over items. 



*Thank you for all of your support, love, kindness, and generosity during this school year!  Wishing you all a safe, wonderful, and relaxing summer!!



End of Second Grade Poem 


The year is coming to an end, I can’t believe it’s true.

Before you know it, you’ll be moving onto somewhere new.


It seems like only yesterday you entered 2nd grade.

Think of all the fun we’ve had, and all the progress you’ve made.


We’ve studied things like phonics, math, reading, and writing.

We also learned to do our best and to solve disagreements without fighting.


We played at recess on the swings, the monkey bars, or slide.

We hoped we wouldn’t misbehave and have to sit out on the side.


We’ve grown as learners, and as friends, but now it’s time to go.

Before you leave, there’s something important I’d like for you to know.


You came in and touched my heart in a very special way.

Although you move on, I hope you know that in my heart you’ll stay!
