Student Teacher- We are going to have the honor of having a student teacher in our class for the next few weeks. He wanted to introduce himself to you, so below is a message from Mr. Helms:
Dear 2nd Grade Families,
My name is Elishua Helms, but I just go by Eli since it is easier to say. I am a senior at Missouri State University and will be graduating with a degree in Elementary Education this December. My wife (Chandra) and I live in Willard with our 4 spunky children Ashlyn, Aidan, Owen and Evelyn. Our oldest is a 5th grader at Willard Intermediate and another attends Willard East. Despite maintaining a busy schedule, any awarded free time is always splurged on my wife and kids either with outdoor ventures, board games, movies or reading together. I love being in the classroom seeing students put their creative brains to work and I enjoy being part of their learning experience.
New iPads! We now have 4 iPads in our room for the kids to use. In order to use the sound on the iPads our kids have to have earphones/earbuds. Please send in either earphones or earbuds so your child can use sound with the iPads.

Math: A great way to help your child at home would be to use flash cards for subtraction and addition skills. When using the flash cards if they pause for more than 10 seconds you put that fact to the side and know that is a fact you need to work on.
