Headphones/Earbuds
If possible, please check with your student to see if they have a pair of headphones or earbuds for school. I have some for students to use, but they are rather flimsy and I've been told uncomfortable. They are welcome to keep a pair here at school or in their computer bag to travel back and forth.
Cleaning Computers
Some screens and keyboards are getting pretty messy. You might want to consider using a computer cleaner once a week on your student's laptop. If someone would donate the cleaning supplies I would be happy to clean them here at school.
Math
Students are beginning to work on double digit addition and subtraction. Please refrain from teaching your student the traditional method with borrowing and carrying at this time. An important goal in second grade to to learn different strategies to add and subtract mentally.
