Dear Parents,
Your child started Homework last Monday. Most of the children were okay with the homework. A couple of the children were a little overwhelmed by the work. Homework has a definite place in the educational process. It is an extension of the learning experience children have during the instructional day. Homework is designed to aid the students in achieving classroom and school goals.
When your child has homework please look it over with your child. Show genuine interest in the work. Instruct your child to complete homework as early in the afternoon or evening as possible. Insist that homework be done away from the television and other disstractions. Take an active interest in your child's schoolwork. Assist your child when he/she has trouble understanding something, try to help. Lastly, when your child brings home their Reader or Small Reader, read with your child. Discuss what your child has read.
All of the above suggestions are ways you can help to support your child's education at home.
As always, I appreciate your support.

Dear Parents,
On Monday, August 24, 2009 homework assignments will begin. Your child will have Reading, Spelling, and Vocabulary on Monday. There will also be some Math homework during the week. A letter is going home explaining the homework. Homework days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. No homework on Friday. The weekend is for family. I will always explain the homework assignments to your child in class. Remember, homework assignments are used to reinforce classroom learning.
Please encourage your child to do their homework before doing any extra curricular activities.
Together, you and I can help your child become a responsibility person.
Have a wonderful week.

Dear Parents,
First of all I want to welcome you to an exciting year in Second Grade. Second Grade is a special year. Your child will be celebrating First Penance and First Holy Communion. Along with celebrating the Sacraments of Penance and Communion your child will be learning many new and exciting academic concepts.
Our Lady of Mercy School has been a part of my life for 30 years. I became a part of the O.L.M. School family when my daughter, Marsha entered preschool in 1979. I was a Mom helper in kindergarten with my sons, Mark in 1983, and Ryan in 1984. In 1985 I became a teacher aide in kindergarten and worked with Mrs. Tresidder for 13 years. I began teaching Second Grade in 2000 and have enjoyed every year.
The classroom environment I plan to maintain is positive and pleasant in which your child will be treated with fairness and respect. I expect your child to behave appropriately and to be self-disciplined, honest and to accept responsibility for his/her own behavior and to treat others with respect.
I expect your child to try their best, to use their time in the classroom productively, and to use school materials and property in a responsible way. I assure you that your child will clearly understand what is to be expected of him/her. Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for academic growth and I will work hard to be consistent in that capacity.
Your child will receive a wonderful Catholic and academic education at Our Lady of Mercy School as my children did. I know we will all have a great year together. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding Second Grade. I plan on making your child’s year in Second Grade productive and enjoyable.
I look forward to a wonderful year.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Carroll
