Dear Parents,
This Wed., Dec. 8th, the second grade will be reading at our class Mass for the Immaculate Conception at 9:00 and this Fri. Dec. 10th, the third and fourth graders will attend Mass at 9:00 followed by Advent confessions.
In Language Arts all classes will be practicing how to write letters and address envelopes correctly. Fourth graders will be writing persuasive lettters and second and third graders will be writing letters of invitation. Please click on lesson plans for more details. PLEASE HAVE ALL SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS BRING IN FIVE CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH ENVELOPES BY THIS TUESDAY!
It is important that students from all grades have all the notes they need to study before Christmas vacation so they can study for Midterm exams in January, especially in Religion. I have a copy of ALL the Religion notes given to each class since September. Any student who was absent or is missing notes should see me and he/she will be allowed to use my notes to write them into their notebook. It must be done during school time however, not at home.
The vocabulary for this week is in Religion:
*Advent - first season of the Church year lasting four weeks in which we prepare for the birth of Jesus and his return in the second coming
*Magi - name used in Bible for the Three Kings or Wise Men who brought gifts for Baby Jesus
*stable - barn in which Jesus was born
*manger - place in which Jesus was laid usually used to hold the food for the barn animals
*symbol - a sign or picture that stands for something. Symbols on the Jesse tree represent the different Bible stories
Please check below your child's grade for this week's homework.
