Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades for 10/31 to 11/4

Dear Parents,
         For Halloween, this Monday,  all students should wear their costume to school (no changing at school).
Each student in class 2-1 should bring their own individual juice or soda, a large bag of snack (like Doritos, chips, cheese doodles, etc.), and one bag of candy to distribute to preK and K during their parade in the halls.  I will bring the pizza you ordered and extra candy treats  for my homeroom (2-1). Students may also bring extra money for the Cake Sale that day if they wish.
        On Tuesday students should wear their uniform for Mass . On Friday dismissal will be at 12:00. This Friday is also dress down day which means any student who wishes may bring in two dollars as a fund raiser and then does not need to wear their uniform that day.
        ALL STUDENTS NEED TO WORK ON SETTING UP THEIR RELIGION DISPLAY BOARDS THIS WEEK!  ALL DISPLAY BOARDS ARE DUE COMPLETED BY THIS THURSDAY! Display boards should be purchased in the supply room for five dollars. The title must in the top middle panel and a sheet of construction paper must be placed under it for the student's composition which will be placed there. Student's full name should be under  this sheet. Then pictures (WITH CAPTIONS) can be placed around this sheet and on the side panels. Composition work will be completed this week and will be placed on board this Friday. ALL BOARDS WILL BE ON DISPLAY IN THE AUDITORIUM NEXT TUESDAY, NOV.8TH and grades for their work will be entered by the end of the week.  I suggest students tape the pictures, captions, and title lettering on board so any big errors can be corrected without need to replace the board.

         The vocabulary words for this week are in ELA and are listed below:
*noun - word that names a person, place, or thing   eg.   boy, store, dog
*pronoun - word that takes the place of a noun    eg.  he, her, me, you, them...
*verb - word that shows an action or state of being     eg.  sing, is, were, has done
*homonym - a word that sounds the same as another but has differrent  spelling and meaning eg.  dear/deer

         The homework below is for ALL GRADES:
Rel. 11/1 Rel. Unit 1 Test is this Wed. Review chapters 1 to 4 in text book, the Unit 1 flash cards on http://www.sadlierereligion.com/, and all Religion notes (except for Safe Environment notes).
