Hello! My name is Ms. Jennifer Hyjack and I am so excited to be teaching 3rd Grade at Saint Joseph School. This is my third year at our school.
I have been educating young people for 16 years. I received my B.A. in Communication from Rutgers University and my M.F.A. in acting from the Actors Studio Drama School. I was an arts education instructor in NYC and NJ.
The birth of my son and my passion for teaching led me to earn my Elementary certification from Montclair State University. I believe that all students should have a safe, joyful, and inclusive learning environment. I am looking forward to an amazing year!
Happy New Year! In ELA, students are working on their "Who Was?" biography oral presntations. They will be dressing up like their historical figures. It should be a lot of fun! In Math, we are getting ready to begin multiplication. Students are very excited to master their facts this year. We have a lot planned for Catholic Schools Week, which begins January 28th.
All homework is posted daily on our class Google Classroom for students and on ClassDojo for parents.
Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend with your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
Amen
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
They kingdom come.
They will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.
Amen
Grace Before Meals
Bless us, O Lord, and these they gifts, which we are about to receive
from your bounty.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
The Exit of The Day Prayer:
We are grateful for the
signs and wonders of this day,
for ordinary events and its surprise,
big and small.
We thank you for the
loving people who surround us.
May we continue to reflect your goodness
to others in your name.
We ask this through your beloved Son, Jesus.
Amen.
Students will be using a new reading program called My View Literacy for Language Arts this year. They will also continue using FUNdations and Voyages for phonics and grammar. For math, we will be using Sadlier Progress Mathematics. We will also be using IXL for math and reading and other digital tools to help meet our curriculum goals.
