Welcome to second grade!
iROCK
I'm a Responsible Organized Caring Kid
I believe that my job as your child's teacher is to not only teach the standards, but to help show them the way to become an independent learner. iROCK is an important part of this; they are the 4 key elements in my classroom.

Ready for Technology?
Apps that Mrs. Roesstorff Recommends
I plan on using a few apps during the school year. Below you will find links to the apps that I plan on starting with. I try to use apps that are free. I will also try to be aware on making sure that the apps are available both for IOS and android.
At the Second Grade Parent Night, I will also take time and go through the apps with you. It will also be a chance for you to download then.

QR Reader
A QR reader turns your phone into a scanner. Only instead of barcodes, QR codes allow for many educational purposes. I can link to tutorial videos, answers, photos, etc. I will use QR codes in my newsletter and on worksheets.
ThreeRing
This will allow me to share your child's work with you. I can tag you in photos, video, audio, and more. It is private and only YOU will have access to your child's work.
Aurasma
Eventually, I will send home directions so you can follow the class page. This is a way to make learning come to life. When you scan an aura with the app, something will come off the paper. It's amazing technology!
What is Mrs. Roesstorff's Goal for Your Child?
Second grade has become such a big transition year. During the month of September we spend a lot of time working on routines and reminding ourselves what it means to be a member of a new classroom. As October comes around I begin to expect second grade behavior. By the end of the year, my goal for your child is to be an independent learner.
Due the heavy amount of curriculum we are expected to teach and the manner we are expected to teach in, your child may become frustrated. Please let me know if it is something that concerns you. Many times I have found that it is a miscommunication between home and school.
Curious on what standards are to be taught during second grade? Here are links to math and reading standards.
