Hi! My name is Sabrina Clary and I am the 3rd  grade homeroom teacher.  I am so excited! I love math.

I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor in Education. I also have a master’s degree from Concordia University.

I have been a parishioner of St. John’s for many years.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns at sclary@mystjohns.or

Aspire Testing: I have no idea how this slipped my mind during Curriculum Night since it starts in 3rd grade! I apologize about that! At SJE grades 3-8 take Aspire testing in April. Aspire testing is the mandated testing that we have to take. When you Google Aspire testing, this is what comes up-“To this end, each of the achievement tests that comprise the ACT Aspire battery produces scores that describe students’ longitudinal growth in English, reading, mathematics and science. Each scale score is linked to college and career data through scores on the ACT assessment.”

So– its a standardized test to show how your child is doing based on SJE and national scores. We make a pretty big deal out of these tests and take a while to review/study for them using Quizlets in the classroom. I might move around in math chapters to make sure that I am covering information that will be on this test. I will go over more of this later, but I wanted to bring it to your attention now so it’s not a surprise when we start really preparing for it!
