Second Grade Sacraments
Second grade is a huge
sacramental year for our students. In December, they will be making
their First Reconciliation.
Please remember to practice
the
Act of Contrition
with your child at home.
In May, the students will be
making their First Communion. With second grade being such an
important year in the student's faith community, we ask for your
cooperation 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.
CHECK PLUS WORK:
A check plus represents improvement from a
check, but not quite up to a plus. The purpose is to show improvement and
growth from previous work.
CHECK WORK: Demonstrates mostly accurate work, some mistakes and
areas where there could have been more detail or time spent.
CHECK MINUS WORK:
A check minus represents work
that is not quite a check or plus. It falls in the range of
demonstrating some effort, but not enough to produce accurate work. Again,
the purpose is to show improvement from a minus.
MINUS WORK: Demonstrates inaccurate work that was hurried through and lacks detail or following of
directions.
