You can find daily homework assignments here, as well as a snapshot of our current learning goals. I love feedback from students and parents, and hope to hear from you often. Together we can give our students all the tools they need to be successful in elementary school and beyond! Email me any time with questions, concerns, and comments: mary.davis@saintmaryschool.net.

Memorize Humanity:           Weds is the last day to recite for a passing grade.
by Elma Stuckey

If I am blind and need someone
To keep me safe from harm,
It matters not the race to me
Of the one who takes my arm.
If I am saved from drowning
As I grasp and grope,
I will not stop to see the face
Of the one who throws the rope.
Or if out on some battlefield
I’m falling faint and weak,
The one who gently lifts me up
May any language speak.
We sip the water clear and cool,
No matter the hand that gives it.
A life that’s lived worthwhile and fine,
What matters the one who lives it?


Weekly QuickWrites due Fridays along with the five math lessons. A great deal of classroom time is dedicated to this work. Quick Writes and Math Lessons should be kept in binder for Fridays.
