Dear Parents,
All parents should have returned emergency cards and all other forms by last Friday, so if you have not yet done so please make sure they are sent in by tomorrow. If you have lost the forms please contact the office. All students should have all their supplies by this Monday and all books must be covered by the end of the week.
Below are the vocabulary definitions for Religion for this week. These along with the definitions from the 3rd and 4th grade teachers must be copied into their VOCABULARY notebooks so that in total there are fifteen definitions from different subject areas to be studied each week. A vocabulary test is given every Friday. The words are the same for all three classes.
Blessed Trinity - three persons in one God: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit
Holy Family - family of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus
Savior - title given to Jesus because he died to save us
Incarnation - the truth that the Son of God became man
Church - community of people who are baptized and follow Jesus
Homework for Language Arts and Religion will only be given only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tests most often will be given in those subjects on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Please check under your grade to view this week's homework.
STUDENTS SHOULD NOT WRITE IN VOYAGES (LANGUAGE ARTS) WORKBOOK. WORK SHOULD BE DONE IN LANGUAGE ARTS NOTEBOOK. A HEADING SHOULD NOT BE USED ON NOTEBOOK PAGES. THE HEADING SHOULD BE Language Arts p. _ and the date OR Spelling p. _ and the date AND BOTH SUBJECTS GO IN THE SAME NOTEBOOK. STUDENTS MAY WRITE IN THEIR RELIGION BOOKS. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY RELIGION WORKBOOKS THIS YEAR.
In total all students should have seven notebooks and seven plastic folders as described in the supply list posted on this blog.
To simplify matters regarding notebooks and folders I would suggest color coding these items.
For example for my home room, the 2nd grade, I will be placing colored circles on all their notebooks and folders as follows:
*Red circles marked LA and REL are for Ms. Saville's classes:Language Arts and Religion
*Blue circles marked RD and SS are for Ms. Bagley's classes: Reading and Social Studies
*Yellow circles marked M and SC are for Mr. Badia's classes: Math and Science.
ONLY ONE VOCABULARY NOTEBOOK IS NEEDED and it will have an orange circle marked V.
**** IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR STUDENTS HAVE ALL THE NOTEBOOKS AND FOLDERS THEY NEED THIS WEEK. Several students are writing on looseleaf or even in the incorrect notebook because they don't have one notebook for each subject (except Penmanship) as they should. All the notes and work they are doing on looseleaf or in an incorrect place will need to be rewritten in the correct notebook which makes extra work for your child. I need your cooperatiion in order for your children to make a smooth start that will continue throughout the year once a pattern is set up that they can follow. I will only be labeling notebooks and folders for my home room which is the second grade, but third and fourth may follow the system if they wish.
