Week of 5/15 - 5/19

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
  1. Reminder that for students who are failing or struggling in reading and/or math, homework assigned on iReady is graded. Extra lessons (those in the blue box) are used as action plans to help boost your child's grade as discussed during report cards. Assignments that are continuously not being completed is reported to Mr. Woods directly.
  2. MAP Testing will be administered on Friday, May 19th. For more information please check on the school's blog.
  3. Sight word assessment will being this week, I hope parents have been reviewing with students. Please remember that these are memory words, and are not to be sounded out.
  4. Please send in a Rosary with your child for the May Procession on May 31st.
