Week of 3/6 - 3/10

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 6th - As per Mr. Woods, progress reports along with MAP testing reports that were sent home on Friday must be signed and returned to me - Thanks!
  • Wednesday, March 8th - NYSESLAT Field Test will be administered to some students. 
  • Friday, March 10th - FULL uniforms MUST be worn. Stations of the Cross at 10:30 am for those who want to join, you are welcomed to do so.
  • Some students have yet to finish their diagnostic test for iReady, so our goal is to get that done this week. Once they are completed a report will be generated for parents to see and usernames along with passwords will be sent home. Homework will then be assigned in both Math and Reading (yes, iReady homework will count for a grade). This will allow students to get practice and improve on weak areas.

If my door is closed I have begun with classes, please drop your child off at the door to avoid any distractions for the other students. -Thank you in advance!
  • Mrs. Seda has organized to collect money from all the classes for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during the season of Lent. Any money donated by parents and students will be greatly appreciated. Donations will go out to children who are fighting to be cured from leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma.
