Week of 3/13 - 3/17

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
  • Monday, March 13th - Dismissal is at 12 noon. After school is in session for those who need it.
  • Thursday, March 16th - In honor of St. Patrick's Day students may dress down and wear green, Stations of the Cross will be held at 10:30 and parents may join us.

  • iReady usernames and passwords were written on an index card and sent home on Friday students will have homework in both reading and math once a week. Schedule for homework will be posted on the blog under the day that it is given. Homework will be checked and given a grade. Some students will have extra lessons, if your child is one of them, they are to complete only the extra lessons for homework. Please keep a look out for those assignments. - Thanks!
