Second Grade Sacraments
Second Grade is a huge sacramental year for our students.
We look forward to teaching your child about God's
never-ending love for us and the grace he blesses us with
through the sacraments of Reconciliation and First
Communion.
Please remember to practice the
Act of Contrition
with your child at
home for First Reconciliation in December.
In May, the students will be making their First
Communion. With Second Grade being such an important year in the
students' faith journeys, we ask for your cooperation and support in helping your child
practice Mass manners and appropriate Mass behavior. Thank you so
much!

 Center Work
and Daily Grading
As a second
grade team, we use the below grading system to guide us in assessing your
child’s accuracy and effort. Please make sure to look at your child’s
work that is coming home, namely center work and other daily activities.
You will see either a plus, check or minus at the top.
PLUS WORK:
Demonstrates accuracy, as
well as best effort and time spent wisely on daily task or activity.
CHECK PLUS WORK:
Demonstrates improvement from a
check, but is still striving for accuracy, best effort and time spent
wisely.
CHECK WORK: Demonstrates mostly
accurate work, some mistakes and areas where there could have been more
detail or time spent.
CHECK MINUS WORK:
Demonstrates work that is not
quite a check or a minus. It falls in the range of demonstrating some
effort, but not enough to produce mostly accurate work.
MINUS WORK:
Demonstrates inaccurate work
that was
rushed through
and lacks detail or following of directions.
