Hello Grade 2 Families,
I sent home a hard copy letter with all students today regarding our upcoming Family Life focus: Fully Alive Theme 3 (Created Sexual: Male and Female). This is a very important letter to review as it provides a great deal of information for parents. We will begin the Fully Alive theme/unit on March 24. Please reach out to me should you have any questions.
Much appreciated,
Adam McSheffrey
The following email was sent home this afternoon to Grade 2 families via School Messenger:
Hello Grade 2 Families,
I apologize for the delay in sending this email, as I did not have access to my Grade 2 class in School Messenger until today. Thank you very much for the warm welcome back to St. Philip. I have greatly appreciated these first days with your children and getting to know each of them better. I provided each student with an agenda yesterday and sent home a welcome/introduction letter. I will also attach a copy to this email as well. Please click on the link below to view:

Students will be receiving UFLI (University of Florida Literacy Institute) at home practice each week starting today. I will normally send this home with the students on Mondays. The activities consist of word focus for both reading and writing, as well as a reading passage/text. The activities do not need to be returned to school; however, they will directly focus on what we are working on each week in the classroom with respect to reading, phonics, and word focus. Please take the time to complete and review these activities at home each week with your child. This extra practice is an important opportunity and helps strengthen the home-school connection with respect to your son/daughter's learning.
Details regarding our class blog can be found in my welcome/introduction letter. I try and post updates, upcoming dates of importance, and our current classroom focus on the blog. I have yet to update our current classroom focus, but I will do so shortly.
Thank you for support and please reach out if you have any questions.
Much appreciated,
Adam McSheffrey
