The St. Malachy school day consists of nine 30-minute periods from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM with two 15-minute breaks (1:00 AM and 1:00 PM) and a 20-minute lunch with 40-minute lunch recess. Keeping in mind a student’s age plays a role in their ability to attend to tasks. Students and their families can benefit from maintaining some routine during school closures.
To support learning outside school, we are sharing activities. You may also find additional materials through the student access at St. Malachy in the Google classroom and/or logins provided annually by staff.
Parents Can Help their Children
One of the best ways parents and guardians can help their children do well in Math is to adopt a positive attitude towards the subject. Talk about how you use Math in your jobs, around the house, on road trips, buying groceries, paying taxes, budgeting, and doing home improvements. Play games and puzzles with your children such as Yahtzee, cribbage, Pentago, Kanoodle, Tantrix, Farkle, Blokus, Shut the Box, dominoes, chess, and any card game. Look for opportunities to get your children to measure things such as ingredients for baking, materials for building, their height and their weight.
