School Closure March 16-29

During this time Bishop Brennan has decided to close all Catholic Schools in our Diocese from March 16th to March 27th.  Classes are set to resume on Monday, March 30th if all goes well.  Be sure to check the blog daily for updates and contact me at anytime with an email.  I will be checking my email throughout the day and will respond as soon as possible.  My email is [email protected].  I will list the weeks assignments.  I would suggest students keep their homework folder handy and be sure to put all headings on assignments.  Thank you for being so understanding.  We want to be sure our OLM school and families remain healthy during this time of need.

Please check the BLOG daily for any updates.  I will put in a few recommendations for websites and Apps that maybe used anytime you would like.  Your child will need to be able to access Studies Weekly, IXL and Think Central as needed for some assignments.

Remember to silent read for 15 minutes each day. 

These are some apps that can be used daily for Math Facts for 15 min.  If these are not used have  your child write out some times tables.  You may also test your child 2-3 times this week using Dadsworksheets.com and print out your child's timed test.  They can be tested for 1 min 30 seconds.  
These can be downloaded for Multiplication.
