Dear Parents,
This week I will be checking notebooks (including 2nd grade vocabulary notebooks) to make certain that all students have finished taking their notes and doing weekly classwork. A classwork grade will be given based on completed work! For example all students are required to have fifteen definitions in their vocabulary notebook each week to study for tests on Fridays. Students are given time in each teacher's class each week to write these in their notebooks. If not completed in class on Mondays, they need to find the definitions on line listed in each teacher's blog and have them in their notebooks by Tuesday morning. This should also be done in case students are absent on Mondays when definitions are given. In Religion I am usually giving notes one day a week so students have a chance to catch up before Friday in case they need more time. If a student is absent for an oral test (one that I dictate done on looseleaf), it will not be made up. Student will be excused for that one test but student should review the work missed since it may appear on the mid-term or final exam. Parents please make sure that your children are studying the definitions in their vocabulary notebooks each week for test on Fridays especially in second grade!
Below are the vocabulary definitions for this week in the area of Religion:
*Kingdom of God - the power of God's love active in the world
*Resurrection - Jesus being raised from the dead
*Pentecost - the day the Holy Spirit came to give courage to the apostles. Pentecost is also called the birthday of the Church
*mission - the work of sharing the Good News of Jesus and spreading the Kingdom of God
*faith - a gift from God that helps us to believe and trust in Him
Check under your child's grade for this week's homework:
