October 2-6
WEEKLY NEWS:
The Math Test that was scheduled for Thursday will be moved to Friday. We will review in class tomorrow.
I will be out on Monday. Therefore, we will not have our Mad Minute Test on Monday. It will be moved to Tuesday.
Thank you so much for working with your child to get his/her Baptism Projects completed. We loved hearing all about their special day. I will return pictures to your child on Wednesday with their sign papers.
The "Bulletin Board" button has some cute new pictures. Check them out!
REMINDERS FROM PREVIOUS WEEKS:
I put a sticker in your child's red folder with his/her user name and password for CLEVER.
Remember that use @cathedralcarmel.net after your child's user name.
The red McGraw Hill app allows you to access their online features. There are also games and activities that can help your child with the skills we are working on each week.
Mad Minute Tests will be given on Mondays.
The goal will be 25. Please remind your child to study for 5 minutes each night & to simply do his/her best!
The "Website Button" has some links that you can use for online practice.
