Homework for 2nd, 3rd, 4th Graders 9/12 to 9/16

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.

Message to Second Graders about Homework 9/7/2011

Dear Parents,
In an effort to help second graders to adjust to the departmental classes, I am giving parents and students a look ahead on how work will be organized. THIS APPLIES ONLY TO SECOND GRADERS. Please read carefully.
Second graders will have their notebooks color coded so it is important that all notebooks needed for each teacher are all in class no later than this Monday, Sept. 12. The set up is as follows:
*red - Religion - Ms. Saville
*yellow - Social Studies and Science - Ms. Sanchez
*blue - Math - Mr. Badia
*green - Reading and ELA - Ms. Bagley
*orange - Vocabulary - This one notebook is to be used by ALL teachers to record 16 words (with definition) that will be assigned each week: four words from each teacher. These must be written out and studied for a test each Friday, starting this Friday, Sept. 16. Parents may also check for these on each teacher's homework blog each week.
Starting next week students will be assigned only TWO subjects for homework each day in an effort not to overwhelm them and only the books needed for that night's homework should be taken home each day.
*Mon. - Math (Mr. Badia) and Reading (Ms. Bagley)
*Tues. - Religion (Ms. Saville) and Social Studies (Ms. Sanchez)
*Wed. - Math (Mr. Badia) and ELA (Ms. Bagley)
*Thurs. - Religion (Ms. Saville) and Science (Ms. Sachez)
*Fri. - NO HOMEWORK! Parents MAY CHOOSE to use Friday to catch up on any work missed or for review or practice in any subject in which the student may be having difficulty.
Tests in each subject will usually be given the day following the day homework is assigned in that subject.
Parents are asked to please cover books as they are being sent home and write or label ONLY with student's full name, grade (2-1 or 2-2) and SUBJECT (not name of book).  You may use brown paper, cellophane, stretchable covers, etc. Notebooks should be covered. Do not keep the books or notebooks at home as they will be needed in class every day.
Parents please remember that the TWO emergency cards (both sides filled in) and first seven sheets (each requiring your signature) are due by this Friday, Sept. 9th.This Monday GYM classes will begin for all second graders so classes 2-1 and 2-2 should come dressed in their gym clothes.
I hope this has been helpful. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Ms. Saville

Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year!

Dear Parents,
This year I will have class 2-1 as my home room. I will be teaching Religion to fourth, third, as well as both second grades 2-1 and 2-2. However I will be teaching ELA only to the third and fourth due to the additional second grade Religion class.
Below is a list of basic supplies that will be required this year for ALL classes. Please make sure your children have the items marked with ***
by the first day of school, Sept.7. The rest needs to be in by Sept.12.

SUPPLY LIST:
***three sharpened pencils with an eraser on each (no erasable pens yet)
***four folders of any color (They must be plastic ones with bottom pockets and and clear front and back panels.)
***looseleaf pad with tear out pages (no loose looseleaf sheets or spiral pads) PLEASE DO NOT BRING BINDERS SINCE THEY TAKE UP TOO MUCH ROOM!
***two large flat cloth or plastic zippered pencil cases (no boxes allowed). One of these should be able to hold small items such as glue stick, scissors...)


*three hardcover composition notebooks with lots of pages (Spiral notebooks will not be allowed.) Please do not label these as they will be colored coded in class by subject. THIRD AND FOURTH WILL ALSO NEED ONE VOCABULARY NOTEBOOK LIKE LAST YEAR TO BE USED FOR WORDS FROM ALL FOUR TEACHERS.
*a pack of 3x5 index cards (to be kept at home till needed)
*a pack of different colored construction paper (to be kept at home till needed)
* stretchable book covers or brown paper to cover books (keep at home)
*a box of 8 to 12 colored pencils of different colors (no crayons)
*a glue small glue stick (no bottles of glue)
*a small scissors
*a family size box of tissues
*a roll of paper towels
*a container of bleach wipes
*an individual size hand sanitizer
*a lunch box (if you wish to bring your own lunch) This must be separate from your book bag.
*a large sturdy book bag. Wheeled carts are fine since books are heavy.

It is very important that all students comply with the rules about what to bring or not bring to class since it will make your child's start at school run much more smoothly. Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. I am looking forward to seeing at you at our opening meeting on Tues., Sept. 6 at 6:oo p.m. School begins Wed., Sept. 7 at 8:00 a.m. Ms. Saville
