  • Think Central is our Reading Site. You can access this site with your child's username and password which can be found on the first page of his/her homework agenda. Once on Think Central you will be asked the district and school. Please select Private School and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. While this Reading work is not mandatory, it is a great way to work on weekly vocabulary, decoding and target skills centered around our stories. Students will get stickers for their locker charts for completed reading at the end of the week

  • Timed Drills in Math every week. Learning the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts will lead to a better understanding of more complex math concepts. Before any comprehension can take place, whether in reading or in math, automaticity of sight words or math facts must be achieved to improve comprehension.

Do not wait until report card time to see your child's grades. You may access their grades as often as you like. Our grading website is Option C.
