Dear Parents,
This week students in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will be taking Unit tests in both Religion and Social Studies. Students should review pages assigned and in notebook study all notes and practice answering sample questions listed under Essay Questions for both subjects. Social Studies Tests will be given on Tuesday and Religion Tests on Wednesday.
The Book Fair will be this week. Students should make their purchases in the morning before class starts. On Friday we will be celebrating Halloween at OLQM! Students may bring money for the bake sale and wear costumes to school. (*Please see Homework for 2nd Grade for additional information.)
Regarding vocabulary, please make sure that your child reviews at home as well as school. Vocabulary test grades are averaged into the total grade for EVERY subject so please be aware that their scores on these tests will affect how they do to both Social Studies and Religion.
The vocabulary definitions for this week are:
conscience - God's gift that helps us know right from wrong
moral - able to know the difference between right and wrong
kingdom - power of God's love active in the world
gospel - reading priest does using the Bible at Mass. Gospel means "good news" about Jesus.
homily - part of the Mass when the priest explains the gospel. It is also called the sermon.
Thank you. Ms. Saville
