Good morning!
Let me know if you are having difficulty accessing google classroom subject folders. I put together a "How To" instruction document that will assist you--I can forward it to you if needed. Remember work for this week is due Sunday, March 29th at 8:00pm. You may turn in your child's work via email, in google classroom, or whatever works for you.  A few of you have already sent me work-thank you!  I am unable to comment via email...if you send your child's work to me in google classroom then I am able to give feed back. You will be receiving a Zoom invite from me in the next couple of days for Friday.  I plan on setting up a meet and read with the children for Friday (all information will be in the invite).  Next week I plan on meeting with the kids via Zoom a couple of days a week--instructions will be forthcoming.  Remember to have your child silent read for at least 15 minutes a day. Please make sure to check my blog later for an update regarding Math in Focus online learning instructions.  Thank  you for your support at home. Sending prayers and positive vibes your way!

*Update*
Textbook pages are available in the math google classroom folder.  See class code below.

****Update****
  It has come to my attention that a handful of students did not bring their math text book home, they only brought their math work book.  Today's assignment was in the math textbook; tomorrow's assignment is in the work book.  For those of you who do not have a textbook, I believe there is a way that you can access the text book via Math in Focus website. I am waiting to her back from Mr. Dimpsey.  Sorry about the confusion!  I will keep you all updated ASAP!! 
  Hello,
  I hope everybody had a safe, and relaxing weekend.  This week there will be some changes in regards to how work will be turned in moving forward.  Upon learning last week that we will be out of school for an undetermined amount of time I had to adjust my initial plan of turning in assignments.  As far as I can tell this is the easiest way to turn in work.--Use your cell phone to take a picture of your child's completed work and email to me.  This includes Superkids work book pages, and math work book pages.  Students will also be doing work on notebook paper for spelling, social studies, science, and math (text book pages).  However, I will be flexible if you have an alternative way of getting your child's completed assignments to me.  
I have added google classrooms for each subject you will need to use the class codes listed below to access materials for each subject (when assigned)  .  This will help students stay organized.  Make sure your child begins each morning answering the daily question.
We are still in the learning process of online learning. Thank you all for your patience and flexibility as we adjust into these new norms!

Good morning!
 Remember to have  your child answer the daily question.  Also, in google classroom I have posted an adjective quiz.  Students are able to compete against their classmates--it's a fun way to review. Use the google tab to login and you'll need to click "allow" in the pop up box. 
 First Communion has been postponed.  As circumstances change regarding school closure we are looking at the best ways to continue to educate your children.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.  
Please stay safe and healthy.

It was brought to my attention that there is not a section for practicing multiples of 2's, 5's or 10's on their own.  Apologies for my oversight.  I am going to change up the Math curriculum for the rest of the week. Starting today please have your child work through the  Money portion on IXL.
