Homework for Second Grade Sept. 28 to Oct. 2

Dear Parents,
If you have not yet read my letter to parents posted lasted week, please go back and do so.
It may help clear up any concerns you may have and simplify things for your children. Starting this week children will begin each Religion class with a daily prayer and gospel reading. Students will practice reading scripture using a Bible in class. These are new guidelines from the archdiocese. In order to set the tone in class, I'd like to build a small shrine on a table in our classroom and am asking parents to send in small items to suitable for a shrine: small plastic religious figure or statue, rosary beads, holy pictures, plastic flower in mini vase, etc. Thanks.
Every Monday students from all classes will be copying their fifteen weekly vocabulary words in their Vocabulary notebook and every Friday the students will be tested on the meaning of those words. Please make sure your children study these throughout the week.
