Hello Parents,
As a reminder, all parent-teacher conferences will take place virtually. A zoom link will be emailed to you a day or two before your conference. If, due to technical difficulties or some other reason, we do not have enough time to finish our conference, we will set up an additional time to meet again. Thank you for your understanding.

In preparation for your child's upcoming conferences...
Language Arts
*Please note that the next spelling test will be on Thursday, October 22 since we do not have school on Friday.
Math
Grade 2 is working on telling time. Here is a link to an online activity that the second graders did in class. If they could do this once or twice over the weekend that would be beneficial. Thank you for helping them out at home! Your teamwork is appreciated! https://www.roomrecess.com/mobile/TimeTeller/play.html
Grade 3 will be finishing their first chapter soon. They will begin multiplication next. I have lots of multiplication "tricks" that I am anxious to share with the students. 😀
Grade 4 just finished their first chapter. They will be computing with numbers in the thousands. The numbers they will be working with will go up to one million.
Religion
Learning Prayers - The Diocese of Green Bay asks that Catholic school students memorize certain prayers and other church teachings. Students in grades 2-4 were individually assessed during September and October. A form indicating which prayers they know, which ones they could use a little more help with, and which ones they will be taught later this year will be sent home on Friday, October 16.
Family Reference Guide - Along with your child's initial assessment will be a booklet for families to keep at your home throughout the remainder of your child's time at St. Clare School. The words to the prayers are included in this booklet. Both the assessment form as well as the booklet are coming home in a large white envelope on Friday, October 16.
Music & Art
Beginning the week of October 12, students in grades 2-4 have been receiving music and art instruction on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mrs. Bartosch. They are really enjoying these classes.
The following is copied from Mrs. Hubbard's newsletter:
"In an effort to make a smooth transition to virtual education if we have to -- no, I am not anticipating it any time soon -- I need to hear from you IF your family will need a Chromebook and/or a hotspot. Please email me at jhubbard@stclareagw.org if a Chromebook and/or hotspot will be helpful for your family during a time of distance learning."
Any Questions? - Please feel free to ask us any questions that you might have during your conference or send an email if you'd like. We look forward to speaking with everyone!
