Update for Student Work (03/24/2020)

March 24, 2020

Dear Parents,


We hope everyone is healthy and doing well.  Per ISBE guidelines, student work completed during this time of school closure cannot negatively impact the students’ current grades.  We wanted to communicate our work expectations and grading procedures for the upcoming weeks due to the extended school closure.


  • The weeks of 3/17-3/27: Packet that was sent home on 3/16 (please email your teacher one picture or scanned image of your best reading and best math page from the sheets that were provided to you by Tuesday, March 31st)
  • The week of 3/30-4/03: two MobyMax reading assignments, two MobyMax math assignments, and one MobyMax science assignment
  • The week of 4/06-4/10: Spring Break (no assignments- enjoy the break!)
  • The week of 4/13-4/20: two MobyMax reading assignments, two MobyMax math assignments, and one MobyMax social studies assignment.

The MobyMax reading, math, science, and social studies assignments can be found in your child’s assignment box which appears as a sheet of paper icon with a red number tag on it (it is the second icon from the left on the top bar of the page).  We have assigned an extensive list of assignments for all the subjects. Some of these assignments may have already been completed by your child previously this year.  Your child can choose whichever assignments he/she wants to complete for the weeks listed above. To clarify, reading assignments can be listed as:

  1. Reading Skills Informational
  2. Language
  3. Reading Skills Literature
  4. Phonics & Spelling Rules
  5. Foundational Reading

We understand that this is a very challenging time for everyone. Our primary goal during this time is to keep the students engaged without overwhelming them.  Please have your child do what they can to continue the academic growth they have reached this year. We are going to be very flexible and understanding during this time.  If you need support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are checking our emails periodically throughout the day, Monday-Friday (office hours: 8:30 AM-3:30 PM). We hope everyone stays healthy and enjoys this extra family time.


Love,


The Second Grade Team

Mrs. Bania-Moore, Mrs. Hanley, and Mrs. Ganci
