Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades for 12/17 to 12/21

Dear Parents,
         This Friday is our last day of school before hristmas vacation.  On Friday children should wear RED and GREEN clothes but absolutely NO JEANS.  We will have Lessons and Carols in church at 10:00 and our pizza party will be from 1:00 to 3:00. I am asking students in THIRD GRADE to bring $2.50, their own juice and ONE large bag of snack to share with the class. (No lunch will be served that day.) We will discuss in class so everyone does not bring the same snacks.
        For  the weekly Religion quiz this Monday ALL classes should have MEMORIZED God's Ten Commandments and Jesus' Two Great Commandment which were reviewed in class.  Also, each grade has a different chapter to study: 2nd (chapter 9), 3rd (chapter 10), 4th (chapter 8).
IMPORTANT! The weekly ELA quiz will be given this Thursday (instead of Friday) and next Religion quiz  will ge given this Friday (since there is no school on Monday).  Some of the last week's work will need to be rescheduled since it was not able to be covered  due to my one day's absence last week.
