Dear Parents,
Please remember that this Monday is Class Picture Day and all students should be in full school uniform. I will be sending home a test folder for each student on Monday. I ask that parents please sign each test and return all in the same folder by Tuesday. There will be two quizzes this week: a Vocabulary Quiz on Time to Sleep on Wed. and a Religion Quiz on Chapter 3 on Friday.
Dear Parents,
This week school will be closed Thursday and Friday. I will be giving a Writing Test on Monday, Reading Test on Tuesday, and Math test on Wednesday.
It is important that students get access at home to clever.com since they need to use it not only for doing assignments in Discovery education, but they will also need it to do additional practice in Edgenuity. This practice is important in order to prepare students for the winter session of MAP tests in Reading and Math. I was informed that it is now possible to access it on an iPad as well.
Besides working on Phonics skills daily, I have started students practicing with sets of easy Phonic readers as well a set of ten leveled readers on the topic of animals. These leveled readers for Unit 1 can also be found on-line in the Ready Gen Reading program on savvasrealize.com. In a few weeks I will have individual students read these books to the class using the document camera.
In Social Studies we are working on different types of goods and services we use every day in our community. In Science we are starting a new unit on Sounds.
We will be working on the next set of sight words on the right side of the Dolch Sight Word list starting on Oct. 24th and I will be assigning them for homework for review.
Dear Parents,
We are having Mass at 10:00 this Tuesday and this Friday dismissal will be at 12:00. There will be a Religion Test on Chapter 2 and a Science Test on the topic of Animal Communication this week. Please be sure to review well the definitions on the Study Guides in google classroom.
In Religion students are learning about the Blessed Trinity and will be asked individually to recite the Sign of the Cross correctly.
In Social Studies we are starting a new unit on goods and services people use in a community. There will be two homework tasks this week for which students will need to log on to discoveryeducation to view the videos and complete the follow-up assignments. Once you are on google classroom, you should open a new tab and type clever.com to get access to discoveryeducation or just click on the clever app which has already been set up for your child.
Progress Reports will be sent home on Friday. These MUST be signed and returned to class on Monday. Once I see the signature, students will be allowed to take their progress reports home.
Dear Parents,
This Tuesday all students should be in full school uniform. We are receiving some important visitors and children may be filmed.

Dear Parents,
Welcome to our new school year. Please check google classroom as I have already posted a reminders notice and Monday's homework assignment. Please make sure that students are prepared with all their supplies this week, especially their homework folder. All books will be distributed on Monday.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU LET ME KNOW ON MONDAY MORNING IF YOU CHILD IS IN THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM WHICH BEGINS THIS WEEK.
If you left me any emails, please be sure to check your child's email for any responses. That is where you will always find my responses or any messages I may need to send you. Your child's email and password is on the note in the front of your child's folder. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS NOTE FROM THE FOLDER!
As your children may have told you, we began the year with various phonics activities, which we will continue, to get your child on the road to reading. On Monday we will begin following the schedule I posted on google classroom.
