Author, Main
Character/Characters, Summary, Opinion and Why you enjoyed or
didn't enjoy
the book.
Why is there daily homework in Math and Language Arts?
Students review, reinforce and apply knowledge and skills learned
collaboratively. These fundamentals are implemented across the
curriculum
so the students benefit the most from this type of work. Thank
you.
Mrs. Leahy, how many sentences do I have to write in my paragraph?
My answer always is, "My expectation is a minimum of seven
sentences.
Please begin immediately and you must indent, capitalize,
punctuate every
sentence, have complete thoughts, AKA sentences, spell correctly
and write
legibly and neatly in cursive. You must always check your work
by rereading
it, using a dictionary and crossing your T's & X's and dotting
your i's.
Please begin and give me your best work. Thank you."
Why do we always read the directions and discuss what needs to be done?
Directions indicate what should be done, how to do it and help
you to listen
well so the instructions can then, be followed.
What can I do every day to strengthen scholastic skills?
Please practice multiplication tables daily for several minutes.
Also
review some Dolch Sight Words daily. These 2 things will greatly
benefit
students in all subjects. Thank you.

The group skyscraper OR individual Picasso projects are due in
class during
homeroom the Friday before Catholic Schools' Week. Each
individual torso &
diamond legs project is also due at the same time. Thank you.
Why are cursive written papers and computer generated papers required?
Students are required to submit cursive written papers that are
proofread
and edited. Dictionary and writing skills are reinforced with
practice.
Technology skills are implemented, however, students don't only
rely on this
one tool.

Reading
Counts Program. The student must read many books from the list as
well as,
score high on the 1st E-test. So read for fun but also for
