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.

Also coming home are the first set of flashcards. These will be going home weekly for the next several weeks.  Please cut these carefully and practice daily Monday-Friday. Place in a Ziploc bag and keep the flashcards at home. Have your child practice reciting the fact family on the back. Read the family sheet coming home discussing flashcards. The Parent Signature Sheet should be kept in the green folder. Please sign/date the sheet daily. The practice and memorization of these facts will be helpful when timed-tests start in the winter.
