COMMON CORE The second graders and Mrs. D will be very busy learning and doing the standards for common core, especially in the Language arts and math areas. If you have any questions about common core, I would be glad to answer what I can. Some other things to expect: 1. Spelling words will come home Monday for a Tuesday and Friday test. 2. I will start sending homework sheets on Mondays. This will probably start mid-September. 3. We celebrate holidays, so there will be a list for treats. 4. I always ask "Please" help at home as much as you can. I understand things come up, but your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!
