Second Grade Sacraments Important date for Saint Sebastian Parish Sacraments is: Wednesday, September 27 at 6:30 in the church.

Your second grader should have approximately 20 minutes set aside each evening for homework. I try to stagger the homework between Language Arts and Math. A great idea is to set aside a particular “office space” just for your child to do their homework each evening. Every night try to have your child read and or practice math facts. Homework is worth 1 point. If it’s late it’s worth ½ point.

20 22 My “Codes” Homework that has been seen and recorded. Work was done with the whole group or in small group instruction. 20 22 Students should correct errors and return for homework. 22 questions and student got 20 correct

Classroom Rules Use kind words. Raise your hand before speaking. Walk from place to place. Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Show respect to everyone.
