Goals

As a learner your child will be expected to accomplish many academic goals in second grade.  Along with these academic goals I will be setting personal goals related to each learner. I will strive to see that each student:

• Respects him/herself as well as others
• Receives  classroom environment conducive to learning
• Develops a sense of purpose for learning
• Feels successful

By the end of second grade, your child should be able to:
