Dear Parents,
Welcome! If you are a parent of any second graders 2-1 or 2-2, please be sure to click on my previous post Message to Second Graders... for directions and guidance with notebook setup, etc. The following information contains messages for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. This Mon., Sept. 12, ALL students will be copying their vocabulary definitions from all four teachers in ONE vocabulary notebook, so it is important that every student have their notebook labeled VOCABULARY (or color coded with orange circle) in class. Students should NOT record these weekly definitions in any other notebook. The weekly vocabulary definitions will be the SAME for all grades. Parents may click on each teacher's blog to see their weekly definitions posted.
The vocabulary definitions for this week are in Religion and listed below:
*Blessed Trinity - three persons in one God: God as creator, Jesus as Savior, Holy Spirit as helper
*Holy Family - family of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus
*Savior - title given to Jesus because he died to save us
*Incarnation - the truth that the Son of God, Jesus, became man
ALL grades will be participating in a Religion Fair on November 8th. Second graders will be preparing display boards with pictures including composition work on different saints. Third graders will work on the different sacraments. Fourth graders will work on the ten commandments and the Beatitudes. Students in 3rd and 4th graders have already chosen their specific topics, and this week second graders will choose their favorite saint (each must be different). Students may begin to look for pictures and print out color pictures on http://www.googleimages.com/ and bring in a plastic bag for revision and discussion but no Composition work should be done at home and nothing should be put on a display board yet until it is approved.
The homework for each grade is listed below. Please make certain you are checking under YOUR child's grade. Remember that Religion and ELA homework will be given ONLY on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Homework assignments will be reviewed on the following day so it is important that homework is brought in ON TIME since it will affect your child's overall grade.
