Tuesday

Another wet rainy day! The rain sure came down this afternoon. I think every student had to use the restroom so they could see and experience the pouring rain. Thankfully it stopped just in time for the end of the day dismissal.
In language today students took their first Weekly Assessment and their first CLOSE spelling test, along with a regular spelling test and a dictation test. They also wrote their final draft about their favorite friend.
In religion students took Quiz 2 about the Holy Trinity.
In math student worked on the reviews in their textbook and they worked on pages in their workbooks.

Tomorrow is the 2nd grade Mass. Be sure to have your child here by 8:00 as we will go over to the church so those with parts in the Mass can practice. The school supplies continues on rain or shine.

Peter Brown, a children's author, will be at school tomorrow at 1:00 to give the students in the primary grades a presentation.
Don't forget 2nd grade also has 12:10 Courtyard Prayer on Friday.

What a wet Monday! The 2nd graders did an excellent job with morning Courtyard Prayer. Congratulations!
Students signed up to hold up signs will still hold up signs tomorrow and for the rest of the week.

On Wednesday the 2nd grade class will be the leaders at Mass. Margaret will read the introduction and Carter will be taking up the wine for our class.

In religion we finished up reading about the Blessed Trinity.
In language arts we worked on Table of Contents. Students highlighted the important information and used it to answer the questions. They also completed the weekly fluency and comprehension check. We reviewed short vowels and patterns.
In math we worked on ordered numbers and patterns.
In science we worked in our germs packet. We will be finishing up germs tomorrow.
