Second Grade Visit to M.D. Williams!
Second Grade will be making the first of four trips to M. D. Williams tomorrow morning, October 30, 8:15-9:30. We are following the Transition Program designed to ease their promotion to Third Grade.
Purpose of Transition Program: To minimize the transitional concerns of students, adults and teachers. The idea is that second grade students will be more comfortable with third grade expectations once they transition up. At the same time, third grade students will be interacting with familiar individuals from Alma and serving as student leaders for second grade students.
Transition Program Outline: The plan is to pair Second Grade classrooms with Third Grade classrooms for the 2018-2019 school year. Regularly scheduled visitations between rooms and teachers will occur throughout the school year in hopes of reducing stress and worry for upcoming students.
Goal: To share and display classroom activities, instruction, and expectations between Second Grade Teachers, Third Grade Teachers, Parents and Students.
