4th Grade | Mrs. Lombardo

It has been brought to my attention that  Pearson Realize has experienced some technological issues.  Therefore, the summer MATH assignments are no longer available and the assignments that I gave the students for math will  not be able to be completed.  I would ask that you direct your children to instead work on Kahn Academy over the summer, reinforcing topics and math skills that were worked on during the year. The vol 1 and vol 2 workbooks they used are a great source of review, especially th ePerformance assessmnets at the end of each topic.  Multiplication facts should be mastered and will be assessed when we return in the first week.  I look forward to working with your children in the fall.





I want to thank you all for the generous end of year gift I recived.  It has been a wonderful year and a most memorable one as my first year at Sacred Heart.  I am blessed to work with all of you and your children!
