Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades 11/8 - 11/12

Dear Parents,
Please have your children bring in cans of food for the poor this week. There is no school this Thursday so homework will be assigned on Wednesday. Please be aware that all grades will be taking their Religion Unit test this Friday which will cover the first five or six chapters. I will be reviewing using activities, interactive games, and flash cards via a web site on the computer. Students will get further instruction on this in class. A Grammar Testwill be given this Wed. as well to all grades, but no Spelling. PLEASE NOTE: Due to Gym on Wed. and no school on Thurs., the second grade will need to take their Grammar test on Tues.

The vocabulary definitions for this week are in the area of Language Arts:
*Please check to see if your child has all fifteen definitions recorded each week. In case they were not able to complete in class, they are available by clicking on each teacher's name on the blog.

* verb - word that shows an action or a state of being
eg. action: sing being: is, was helping: has gone

* adjective - word that describes a noun. eg. It can tell about the color, number, size, or shape, weight of an object.

* pronoun - word that takes the place of a noun
eg. he, her, me, you, them

* synonyms - words that have the same or almost the same meaning eg. happy / glad

* homonyms - words that sound alike but have different spellings and different meanings
eg. dear / deer. Homonyms can also be called homophones.

Please check under your child's grade for this week's homework.
