Important Messages: Welcome Back to school !!!
I am so excited to have you back again. I'm looking forward to a great year.
Please look over this information to prepare for our first day of school
I will be using google classroom as I have done last year. I will post notes and other information that the students will need for my classes: ELA, Social Studies, and Religion.
The students will need to join these classes tomorrow by logging into google classroom and clicking join class..... then enter each code for each subject. Check back tomorrow under homework as they will be doing it at home.
This year the students will have Mrs. D'Amico for Math and Mrs. Deverson for Science
they will need to check each of their website pages daily as their class information will not be on mine. You can find it on theirs. This will include daily assignments, tests....

Supply List:
I am grateful for whatever supplies you were able to purchase. However, our space is very tight this year. I would appreciate it you would only send in the following:
- Students pens, pencils, highlighters, post its, mini stapler, scotch tape in a pencil case and art supplies (glue (both) scissors, markers, crayons, colored pencils.... in a clear plastic labled with their name. (no sharing will be allowed so please make sure they are supplied daily)
- notebooks labled
-folders
-disenfecting wipes (if you can find them) or an all purpose disenfecting cleaning spray and a roll of paper towel
-hand sanitizer (small one to be kept at student's desk)
- a wallet size photo of you (no bigger than 3x5)
NAMES SHOULD BE ON EVERYTHING!!!!!!
- I would greatly appreciated Lysol (if you can find it), & gallon size ziplock bags
-Students will be allowed to have water in class - disposable water bottles (with name on them) or non-disposable water bottles also with name on it.
-Lunch will be in our classroom and the students are not allowed to get up from their seats. Please make sure they are prepared daily with their own lunch, drink (no cans or glass will be allowed) and a snack. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE. I strongly suggest containers that can be disposed of because lunch boxes will be kept in their school bags everyday.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL
- School begins at 7:50am and our dismissal time will be staggered this year. (Follow all Iris Alerts from Mrs. O'Connor re: arrival and dismissal) 5th grade will be dismissed through the schoolyard prayer doors at 2:25. Please be prompt. This year because of social distancing, the teachers are not permitted to speak with parents outside in the school yard at dismissal. You may email me at s.paccione@olqpsi.com and I will get back to you as prompt as I can or we can set up a zoom conference if necessary.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
- this year the students will be wearing their gym uniform (I strongly suggest wearing the summer gym until further notice as the classroom is warm) we are not allowed to use the fans per COVID- GUIDELINES. Our windows will be kept open.
NOTES and COMMUNICATION
-please send me a note if your child is being dismissed in a different way then usual (going with another parent, grandparent, aunt uncle.....) NO BUS SERVICE at this time.
LAINARDS
I've purchased a lainard for each student. Being our gym uniform has no pockets, I saw where they used the lainard to clip their mask on when eating or for mask breaks, as well as inserting a small hand size bottle of hand sanitizer into the ID part. It really is a great idea. I will hold off until our parent zoom meet so that I can show you what it looks like. I will have mine on to show the students. I will also personalize each one for them.

ELA:Test Taking Tips for Students
-
Come up with an answer BEFORE looking at the answer choices.
-
Read ALL of the answer choices first before eliminate the ones that don’t make sense.
-
Look for negative words in questions:
-
What is the opposite of …..
-
Which one is not included….
-
All of these happened except…
-
For vocabulary questions, read the sentence with all the word choices offered and eliminate those that do not make sense or sound right.
-
Look for key words such as first, then, next, then, finally and after when sequencing events.
-
If asked about cause and effect, look for key words such as since, because, as a result of and therefore.
-
The main idea of a passage is often at the very beginning and it may be stated again at the very end.
-
Do not leave any answers blank. If you’re not sure, make an educated guess.
-
Skip the questions you don’t understand. Fill in your best guess, then mark the question and come back to it later.
SUMMARIZE: Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then (remember to use this strategy when working on summary questions)
-
Gentle Reminders
- Tuesday test folders- YELLOW FOLDERS must be returned the next day. You are to also empty them out. Please remember to sign the front sheet as well.
- Art supplies need to be in clear ziplock bag every day.
- Heading in notebooks and on looseleaf paper:
