Specialist Schedules

August 13, 2013

Welcome!

Welcome to 2nd Grade!  It is going to be a great year!

Here is some information to get us started for the new school year:

We will be having an Open House on Friday, August 23rd from 2-3 p.m.  This will be an opportunity for students to find their classrooms and meet their teachers, Mrs. Tullis and Maestra Anabel.

Utah has adopted the Common Core standards.  This means that all states who have adopted these standards will be working towards the same grade-level goals for that year.  I will have copies of both math and language arts at the Back to School Night, which will be held on Thursday, September 5th.  The Back to School Night will be the time when we talk about curriculum, assessments, schedules, etc...  

Language Arts:
We will be using the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Journeys program this year.  I will also supplement with other materials, as needed.

Math:
Park City School District adopted the My Math program, which we will be using this year.  Most of your child's math instruction will be taught in Spanish, with reinforcements of vocabulary and important concepts in English on a daily basis. We will also be putting a lot of focus on tasks (open-ended responses) and collaboration.  Sharing, talking with others, and justifying solutions will also be an integral part of our math instruction.

Homework:
TBA

I look forward to working with you and your child this year!

Mrs. Tullis
