UPDATE 3/23: For week #2 (3/23- 3/27), Students can begin accessing their Sadlier Math lessons online as an e-book. https://SadlierConnect.com/@learnfromhomeschool

Username: SadlierStudent
Password: ReadyToLearn!

Once logged in, students will need to select the program and grade; Progress in Mathematics, Grade 2 (It's blue and the students will recognize it!)

The students will need to do the work on a separate sheet of paper (labeled with their name and the name of the lesson) or it can be completed in their Math Journal that they brought home.

​

If you prefer a paper copy of the packet instead of accessing the book online, please e-mail me to make arrangements to get the material. As long as I am able to enter my classroom, I should be able to arrange for you to pick up the packets and put them outside on the table for you to pick up at your convenience.

RELIGION:

​

UPDATE 3/23: The school has also been working on getting access to the student's Religion text and workbooks online. I will be sending out information asap on how to access the textbook and interactive workbook asap. If the closure is extended this will be a valuable tool to continue preparing for 1st Communion and formation of Faith.
