Week of 2/27 - 3/3

Supplemental Online Helpers
  • Parents, don't forget to log onto GreatMinds. Remember that Homework Helpers and Parent Tip Sheets are provided for each module that is covered in class and the lessons within them. This is a great aid to you as the parent when you sit with your child and help them with homework.
  • iReady is an online tool that works at your child's pace and level. It works towards slowly increasing skill development in both math and reading. I ask parents to have their child work on it daily if possible (especially those whom their child is struggling to meet academic standards) for a simple 20 minutes. 
  • IXL is another great reinforcement tool that can be used at home with your child. Both ELA and Math can be practiced on a weekly bases by your child.
  • Superkids Online Portal is available to students at home to practice their sound blending in order to read words and sentences. Both online games and books can be accessed for reinforcement.
Reminders
  • Tuesday, February 28th - Superkids contest will be held at 1:30pm for those students who wish to dress up as one of the Superkids characters. Parents are asked to please ask their child if they wish to dress up and be creative while coming up with ideas for their child's costume - Good Luck!
  • Wednesday, March 1st - Ash Wednesday, Mass will be held at 10:30 am. Parents are more than welcomed to join us.
  • Thursday, March 2nd - Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Children may dress up as a Dr. Seuss character. Contest will be held at 1:30 pm and parents are welcomed to join us.
  • Friday, March 3rd - Stations of the Cross at 10:30 am for those who want to join, you are welcomed to do so. Progress reports, MAP reports and iReady reports will be sent home. I will also be sending home for the weekend your child's username and password for iReady.
  • Diagnostic test for iReady will continue this week, Math was completed last week and Reading will be completed this week. Once they are completed a report will be generated for parents to see and homework will then be assigned in both Math and Reading. This will allow students to get practice and improve on weak areas.
