Homework for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Graders 9/26 to 9/30

Dear Parents,
        The following is just to clarify homework and test scheduling  (especially for 2nd graders who are new to departmental).  Ms. Sanchez and Ms. Saville will be assigning homework only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Mr. Badia and Ms. Bagley will be assigning homework only on Mondays and Wednesdays.  No homework will be given on Fridays.  If a parent wishes, a student may take home a book or two to review or catch up on work on Fridays. Tests in each subject will be given on the day AFTER the homework is assigned so, for example, I will be giving tests on Wednesdays and Fridays. The weekly vocabulary test will be given every Friday. Students should take their Vocabulary notebook daily for review.  In case of early dismissals, Mass, meetings, etc., the scheduled test will be given in the teacher's other subject area class (eg. ELA test during Religion period). I will be including a Reminder note on the homework blog to let parents know about  tests in the upcoming week.
       ALL PARENTS PLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK ON PREPARATION FOR RELIGION FAIR for information to all parents about how we will be proceeding in this area. BY THIS FRIDAY, SEPT. 30, EVERY STUDENT IN CLASSSES 2-1, 2-2, 3, AND 4, SHOULD BRING IN THEIR 10 TO 12 COLOR PICTURES ON THEIR TOPIC IN THEIR PLASTIC ZIP BAG LABELED WITH CHILD'S NAME. FURTHER DIRECTIONS ARE ON PREPARATION FOR RELIGION FAIR.
        The vocabulary definitions for this week are in Religion:
*miracle - an amazing event Jesus performed that is beyond human power
*parable - a short story Jesus told that has a message
*Kingdom of God - the power of God's love active in the world
*Sanctus - a prayer of praise said at Mass that begins "Holy, holy, holy..."
