We are now in the holy season of Lent which began on Ash Wednesday and continues for forty days up until Holy Week. During this penitential season, we are called to practice the three disciplines of Lent: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. The students are learing about these three practices and are encouraged to make their own small sacrifices to help prepare for the wonderful feast of Easter.
We are using a new series of Religion workbooks this year published by the Sophia Institute. I encourage you to take a look at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/ and explore this beautiful new series which focuses on the beauty of our Catholic Faith and Traditions.
In Math, we are in the second year of using the workbook series, "iReady Classroom Mathematics". This series is aligned with the i-Ready online program and the Next Generation Standards. The students will have three workbooks: Volume 1 for the first half of the school year, Volume 2 for the second half, and a Fluency and Skills workbook for additional practice. They will also be working with the iReady online program.
We use Google Classroom as a communication tool between students, parents, and teachers. All homework assignments as well as other resources will be posted each day on Google Classroom.
Students are reminded to check Google Classroom daily for all assignments and notifications of upcoming events and due dates.
Each month, the St. Agnes school community focuses on a different virtue.
The virtue for March is " Honesty".
