Dear Parents,
For this Monday all students may wear dress up clothes but no jeans because we have Stations of the Cross at 10:00. All students should bring a book bag and a folder to hold important Religion review notes that will be sent home to study over the Easter break. Third graders should review Speller pp. 247 to 250 for the test they missed on Friday due to Music practice. Second graders should review only Chapter 23 and Unit 4 flip card words for Religion test missed Friday due to last minute distribution of Vocabulary test. No other tests will be given. Second graders are reminded that they can bring in a one bag Easter treat to share with the class and their own small container of juice to have with their pizza slices. Dismissal will be at 3:00.
Parents, please check on the blog this week during the Easter break for additional notes or messages on how to prepare for upcoming final exams. A reminder that fourth grade students will be taking the New York State Language Arts Exam on the same week that they return to school and therefore should give that top proirity! It would be advisable for all fourth graders to do the following:
*access and practice doing past NYS Tests on
www.p12.nysed.gov/osa/english/ela-ei.html
*review all rules for use of capitalization and punctuation in Speller
text pp. 247 to 254
*practice using different parts of speech on Grammar Gorillas (advanced)
on www.funbrain.com
*review use of different graphic organizers in the back pages of the LA
Workbook
*practice Grammar Blast on on www.eduplace.com/kids/hme
*google POWER PROOFREADING for sites from www. eduplace... and
www.harcourtschool... and practice all activities
PARENTS PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIRD AND FOURTH GRADERS DO NOT LOSE THE RELIGION NOTES THAT THEY RECEIVE THIS MONDAY AND THAT THEY REVIEW THESE DOING THE EASTER BREAK. IT IS ALSO ADVISABLE TO REVIEW ALL RELIGION NOTES IN THEIR NOTEBOOKS.
