Second graders are learning to regulate their bodies...to be in control of their thoughts and actions.

 Mrs. Palagyi's first lesson focuses on how we can train ourselves to be active listeners...more focused in the classroom and at home through "Whole Body Listening."

1.  Our bodies are still.
2.  We look at the speaker
3.  Our hands are in our laps.
4.  We may nod quietly to show the speaker we are listening.
5.  We respond to the speaker when he/she is finished speaking.

Welcome Second Grade Families to a new year at Slingerlands Elementary School!

 Mrs. Duclos, our classroom aide, and I are looking forward to meeting you on Thursday.  I will be unable to attend supply drop off day, but feel free to wander around our classroom.  Find your desk, cubby, mailbox and follow the directions on the easel.  Oh, and see if you can figure out where Angus sits!!!  Perhaps there will be a small treat waiting for you at your desks!

Parents please do not stress if you are also unable to attend the drop off session (this is an optional drop off day)...you may send your child's supplies to school a little at a time.  We certainly will not need everything on the first two days of school!  I have plenty of extra materials on hand until your child is able to transport all his/her supplies to school.

I look forward to working with you this year.

Mrs. Cynthia Reiss
