Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades 10/3 to 10/7

Dear Parents,
         Mass for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi has been changed from Tues. to Wed. Students may bring a pet to be blessed at church as long as a parent can take the pet home immediately after Mass. This Friday the fourth grade will have a GYM period instead of Computer so please be sure to wear your gym clothes.  Pictures in a labeled plastic bag in preparation for the Religion fair were due last Friday. I gave an extension till this Monday in some cases so please REMEMBER to bring them!  Some students in 3rd and 4th grades began speeches last week and the rest will finish on Monday so all can begin Composition writing this week.  All classes will be having a Religion test on Chapter 2 this Friday, Oct. 7th.
        
           The vocabulary definitions for this week are in ELA:
*personal narrative - a true story about something that happened to you that you remember
*time order words -words that tell about events in the order that they happened; eg first, next, then, finally
