Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades for 12/23 to 1/6

Dear Parents,
         I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  I  hope you can all join us for Lessons & Carols on Monday.  Dismissal will be at 1:00 right after our pizza party.    ANY STUDENT WHO HAS NOT RETURNED TEST FOLDERS AND PAST QUIZZES NEED TO RETURN THEM !!!!!  (TWO SECOND GRADERS HAVE NOT DONE SO!) I reminded all students to take home their ELA and Religion notebooks as well as ELA and Religion textbooks and Penmanship books so they can study.  Please make sure the notebooks are kept in a safe place. 
        We are presently on Unit 3.  Please be aware that soon after students return they will be facing January Mid-term Exams which will require reviewing all work from Units 1, 2, and  3 (both in ELA and Religion).  Another Interim Assessment will again be given in February as well.
         All students should print out the Religion flash card words for Unit 1, 2, and 3 for their grade on www.sadlierreligion.com.  There are also mini quizzes for each chapter in the drop down menus which students can practice as well as games to practice the vocabulary words.
         Third and fourth graders should study the review section in the back of their Voyages textbook covering rules for capitalization, punctuation, and parts of speech.  Second graders can review pages we have completed but SHOULD NOT WRITE in the Voyages book.  You can prepare for mid -terms also by reviewing all notes in ELA notebooks.
          Please check back after Christmas Day for an on line assignment which will be fun and help students in practice.
             Thank you to all parents for your thoughtfulness in sending a gift.  I don't open any till Christmas Day!                                                                              Ms. Saville
