Times Lines

Time lines are being sent home today. They are due on Monday, September 9th. These can be made either by using pictures or by doing drawings. These are always so cute in our hallway. Have fun with this as you work with your child to put his/her timeline together. I know that doing one with my 2nd grader last year, took me right down memory lane.

Field Trips

Just a quick note about our field trips. We will take two field trips this year. We will go on our first field trip on Friday, September 27th. This trip is to Buckley Homestead. Our second trip is yet to be determined. Permission slips for this will go home after Labor Day. Unfortunately, I am limited on chaperones for this trip. To keep things fair, I usually throw names in a hat and draw out the chaperones.



Specials Schedule

Here is our specials schedule. Hopefully this will help you as you plan your child's attire for the day.

Monday: PE and Music
Tuesday: Library & Art
Wednesday: PE
Thursday: Art
Friday: Music & VCR

**Computer lab times will be plugged in soon!



2013-2014 Class Info

Hello, my name is Mrs. Steinhilber and welcome to my class!


A little bit about me: I am a Kouts graduate. After high school, I attended Purdue University North Central. Fun fact - I student taught in 2nd grade here at Hebron Elementary in the same room that I currently teach in!! In fact, 20 years ago this fall, I was doing my student teaching! This will be my 18th year at Hebron as an employed teacher. I have taught in 3rd grade, 1st grade, and 2nd grade.

I am married to Mr. Steinhilber who also teaches here at Hebron and is the head varsity boy's basketball and baseball coach. We have three sons: Malachi is in 7th grade, Isaiah is in 3nd grade, and Xavier is 4 and attends Kingdom of Kids daycare. Needless to say, most of my spare time is spent at various sporting events cheering on my husband or my kids.

This will be a positive year for your child as we build on past successes and learn new things in second grade! With home and school working together, your child’s academic and social skills will become even stronger throughout the year. Here is some important information about our class.

1) Students will be dismissed to our classroom around 8:10. On late start Wednesdays, children are dismissed to the classroom at 8:20.

2) Each day your child will bring home 2 folders. The gold folder will have graded papers and important notes or memos in it. The red folder will have any homework that needs to be completed. Both folders need to be returned daily. Any notes that you want me to see can be put in the gold folder. Mrs. Russell, our aide will empty out these folders the first thing in the morning so I will be sure to get any notes that you put in the gold folder for me to see.

3) Homework will be given out Monday – Thursday. Each night your child will need to complete reading worksheets, math worksheets, and about ten minutes of reading. Please support and talk with your child about the importance of completing those assignments.

4) P.E. is every Monday and Wednesday. Please see that your child is dressed for comfort and safety (comfortable clothes, shorts or pants for girls).

5) Lunch for 2nd grade this year is at 11:00. Lunch prices are $10.75 for the week or $2.15 per day. Milk is .$55. When you send in lunch money, it would be appreciated if it is in an envelope labeled with your child's name and the purpose for it (we do collect money a few times during the year for various purposes).

I look forward to working with you and your child this year! If you have any questions or concerns, you may send a note in with your child, leave a message at 996-4771 ext.253, or send an e-mail to: steinhilberm@hebronschools.k12.in.us
