Classroom Behavior and Participation
Second grade students are expected to listen attentively, complete work neatly and on time, work independently, follow directions, show self-control, accept correction, be courteous and respectful to others, be organized and care for their property.
Birthdays
Birthday snacks should be easy to manage and clean up; cupcakes, brownies and cookies work best.
