Welcome!

Hi there! My name is Josie Hendren and I am excited about starting another year in 2nd grade and my 10th year teaching. A little about myself-- I am a farm gal. I have a farm with cows, goats, a horse and donkey so I love all things farm. I enjoy spending time with my family, serving at my church, and of course, tending to my animals. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Please send a water bottle and snack with your child every day. There is a fountain to fill up water bottles if they run out of water. Please make sure this is stictly water and not a soda or gatorade.

Your child will have home practice each night, as described on the back of their green folder. We will have a weekly spelling test each Friday that will review the skills from the week. I encourage you to go over these words with your child each night as a practice. They will also have a short book to read and a few math fluency practice questions. If you have questions about homework, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Each night, your child will bring home their green folder. If your child is out sick, please make sure to send an excuse note in their green folder within 3 days of their last absence. They will also be bringing home their work from the week on Friday's in their green folder. Please review this work with your child and if you have any questions, please let me know!

Many of you have asked about donations to the classroom. Below is a QR Code to my Amazon Wish List and also to my TpT Class Fund. I appreciate the thought and kindness you all share to make our classroom an amazing place to learn!

Students Will Be Able To.....

You are welcome to contact me anyway at anytime, but sending me a message in Class Dojo is the best way to contact me. I do have quiet hours set so that when I go home I can enjoy time with my family, but I will get back to you as soon as I come back to school. I look forward to getting to know you and your child!
