Welcome Back!
Welcome back to the start of another academic year here at St. Agnes Cathedral School!
Our theme for this year is "Mary shows us the Way" and we will focus on the virtues and example that Mary, Our Blessed Mother, provides for us.
My name is Mrs. O'Loughlin and I am in homeroom 5-2. I have been teaching 5th Grade Math and Religion here at St. Agnes for the past 17 years. I am a proud alumn of St. Agnes Cathedral High School and earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from St.Johns University.
Fifth grade Math focuses primarily on Decimals, Fractions, Geometry, Measurement, and Graphs. We use the iReady Classroom series.
The students use their ipads to check Google Classroom each day for all assignments and class notes, due dates, and upcoming tests.
The most important subject taught here at St. Agnes is Religion. We use the Word of Life textbook series and the fifth grade students also receive their own copy of the Bible. It is truly a privilege to share the Catholic faith with our students and to attend Mass together each week.
We are looking forward to an exciting and productive school year, filled with lots of growth, new friends, and academic success. My the Blessed Mother, Mary, pray for us and protect us always. Amen
