Homework for 2nd, 3rd, 4th for 9/10 to 9/14

Dear Parents,
          Welcome to a new school year!  This Tuesday we will have our opening Mass so be sure all students are in school uniform.  This Friday dismissal will be at 12:00.  This week all grades will begin their DAILY assessments based on using capital letters correctly.This Friday will be the WEEKLY quiz on the same type of questions.  Also as you were informed at the meeting, students will be involved in listening, answering questions, and interpreting information on books listed in the Core Curriculum.  I have already begun this past week with the following books:
Poppleton in Winter by Cynthis Rylant for 2nd grade
The Stories Julian Tells  by Ann Cameron for 3rd grade
Love That Dog by Sharon Creech by 4th grade
              This responding to literature will continue throughout the year leading to use of graphic organizers, speech preparation, and writing activities using other books, especially non-fiction.
Assessments will be based on how students listen and respond in class. Notes will be recorded in their Journal notebook and related vocabulary words and definitions will be recorded in their Vocabulary notebook. Remember that students only need one Homework folder to hold the work for all teachers.  Homework assignments will be listed on the blog and in their homework pads as well.
Also check there for any changes or updates.
                 Please be sure to check BELOW THE CORRECT GRADE that your child is in to view this week"s assignments. Also check the date to see when each homework is assigned and make sure it is completed and handed in class the nexr day.
