Welcome to a New Year in Second Grade!
Hello Families!
We have so enjoyed having your student. Below are some things we want you to know about Second Grade.
Behavior Expectations
Although each class has their own classroom contract, we follow the Riverton School rules: Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Cooperative. Students can receive a green ticket every time they are "caught" following the school rules. When a student collects 100 green tickets they are honored throughout the school!
Homework
Second Grade made a decision this year to assign little homework. Instead, we hope that you spend time with your student and play games, read books, and enjoy the outdoors. The only homework requirement is for students to read Monday through Thursday for 15 minutes a night.
Schedule
Curriculum
We will update you on our classroom curriculum throughout the year. We hope you enjoy the pictures that give a peek into what students are doing at school! In general we use Every Day Math and the Teachers College Reading and Writing programs.

How can it be January?
It seems impossible, but there you go--its January! We are nearly half a year into Second Grade! We've had some really exciting things happening to include a new Side X Side program! What is Side X Side, you say? Side X Side provides comprehensive arts integration, allowing artists to work "side by side" with our students. Students are able to work on hands on projects while building lasting connections between education and the arts.
Our first Side X Side unit began this January. Author, poet, illustrator, and musician Stephen Constanza joined us for our project kick off and shortly thereafter we had our first session. During this unit students will be listening to music, specifically Vivaldi's concerto, the Four Seasons, and creating their own poetry and illustration based on the music. In the first session students began to listen to the concerto and discussed how the music made them feel, while relating it to a poem. Students acted out the poem, to the music, playing various instruments including violin and cello.
Students can't wait for our next session where we will begin painting to music!
