IXL: Math and Spanish practice

HT purchased subscriptions for IXL Math and Spanish for all 2nd-8th graders. IXL is an web-based program to help students practice needed skills. The program is fun and interactive with games. We highly encourage you to have your child spend time on IXL. Research by IXL reports that just 15 minutes a day will improve Math knowledge scores rapidly. Our HT log in page: https://www.ixl.com/signin/holytrinityor.

Virtue of the Week- Sincerity

This week's virtue is sincerity. Sincerity means truthfulness in words and actions; honesty and enthusiasm toward others. We can cultivate the virtue of sincerity by:

• Paying attention when others speak
• Speaking and acting honestly
• Say what you mean to build trust in your words
• Do what you promise to build trust in your actions

Check in with your child! How are they demonstrating the virtue of sincerity?
