Students, please pray your Act of Contrition each day. Here is a link:

Remember you will recite the Act of Contrition when you go to Confession.

I highly recommend signing up for https://formed.org/. It's free when you use our parish (St. Mary's Church East Islip) code JWXQMW. There's also a 40 day trial free for anyone out of parish who wishes to access. Formed has wonderful faith-filled videos for children. We watch many of these videos to teach Religion in school. 


***Parents, please email me if you do NOT have access to the parent portal. It is through the parent portal that you will be able to view your child's report card this trimester. If you do not have access to the portal, let me know.



***Please check out special area teachers' pages for special class assignments. 


 Everyone needs "brain breaks". Here is a great website to use while doing schoolwork. I recommend "brain breaks" between subjects or whenever you see your child is becoming fatigued by work.

  ***UPDATE***

Due to the unforseen circumstances the dates for the sacraments of reconciliation and first communion  have been postponed. When we know more information we will let you know.


Dear Parents,

     I am here to be your partner and guide as you work with your second grader at home. Firstly, if at any time you need to reach me, please e-mail me at mceramello5607@saintmaryschoolei.org. I will be available and checking my email daily (Mon.-Fri.) between the hours of 8am-2pm. If you'd like to speak via phone regarding questions or concerns especially in regard to assignments, please include your phone number in the email and I will call you directly.
     As I guide you in your studies, I have posted a 2B "sample schedule" below. It is a sketch of what a typical day looks like in second grade. This is a resource for you to consult as you decide how your child will complete assignments at home. 
     Each week I will post day-by-day assignments and videos for your child to view and complete each day. Please click on the above tab and access "This week in 2B" for day by day assignments and resources. I understand that questions may arise pertaining to academic material. Please know that I am available for phone conferences. Do the best you can on assignments, when we return to school work will be reviewed and checked. In order to access certain websites I have posted access codes below. Again, if you have any questions, please email me. I pray that all of our 2B families stay well! 
      Also, please look at the webpages of the "Special Subject" for special class assignments.





                                                                      God bless you,
                                                                     Mrs. Ceramello

A typical day's schedule resembles something like this:

8:00-9:20 (80 min.) ELA ( This block includes work in Phonics/Spelling, Grammar, Reading, Writing...all within "Journeys")
9:20-10am (40 min.) Special (Art, Music, Gym, Spanish, etc)
Snack at 10 am 
10:05-10:45 (40 min.) Science or Social Studies
10:45-12:05 (80 min.) Math
12:05-1:15 Recess and Lunch
1:15-1:45 Religion 

***Our schedule is not the same everyday. “Special” classes times change each day, and some days we have two specials so a science/ social studies period may drop out of  the schedule. Also academic subjects are not taught at the same time each day. For example some days math is taught before snack rather than ELA. Try to see what works best for you and your child. You may see that your child does better with ELA first. Or you may see that Math is the subject you should work on first. It is up to you.
