-Just a reminder for students to please check Powerschool in order to see your grades and what assignments might be missing. If there is a grade of an 80, you may make corrections by going back to the assignment located in Google Classroom where you submitted, and reading the comments section. Here you are able to see the numbered problems that may be incorrect. Usually there is more reading that is involved, or there was a mistake or typo. If your grade is higher than a C+, you are encouraged to fix mistakes, but the grade may or may not be adjusted depending on some factors. We are not taking off points for work submitted late, but please try to have assignments handed in as soon as possible in order to avoid stress for later. Thank you!

Notes regarding Field Day from Mrs. Dudra:

FIELD DAY 2020

Dear St. Bartholomew School Family,

St. Bartholomew School will be participating in Field Day on Monday,June 8^{th. .}Field Day is an important tradition at our school. It is a significant day for our students and our staff. We feel that in these incredibly challenging times it is a unique way that we can stay connected as a school community and support one another in a fun and meaningful way.

Each grade will meet (Google Meet/Zoom) at a designated time provided by your classroom teacher. Attendance will be taken as this is your only school commitment for the day. Events are designed to be done indoors, using common household items. You won’t be asked to purchase any specialized equipment or supplies.

Students are asked to show school spirit by wearing green, gold, or SBS spirit wear. Please help your student collect as many of the items on the equipment list as possible. A score sheet can be printed to help students keep track of activities. (Available tomorrow)

Videos of events have been sent out to students. This was not meant to overwhelm them but to familiarize them with the events. The videos are optional but students are expected to collect as many of the supplies as possible.

IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR STUDENT PARTICIPATING IN FIELD DAY ACTIVITIES AND SEND TO MRS. WIERZBICKI OR MYSELF.

Thank you for all that you do. Stay safe.

Mrs. Gayle Dudra

Each of the four categories makes up your final grade. Average the grades for a category and multiply that average by the percentage. This gives the contribution of that category to your final grade.

IXL

Remember to utilize the IXL program outside of school. Engaging in it feels like a game and allows us to practice skills, use as benchmarks, receive possible classwork grades, and to monitor progress. The sign-in link is: www.ixl.com/signin/stbart. Students may log into the program using Google Classroom or via the username and password provided them in class (check your planners).

Remember to SIGN IN before use for it to count, and HAVE FUN!

Writing Response Goals & Reading Comprehension Skills

Please refer to my two tabs, "Writing Response Goals," that will allow our students to become stronger writers this semester, and "Comprehension Skills," which will provide our students with the effective strategies that will allow them to make stronger connections to the text.

Practicing Math Skills

This semester, we will be having regular multiplication and division quizzes in math. Students should practice multiplication tables often, in preparation for these quizzes and as a way to prevent mistakes in work. Math is a subject that strongly builds upon prior knowledge. For this reason, mastery of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is imperative.
