Welcome to LEAP (Learn-Explore-Achieve-Program)/Tadpoles for the 2018-2019 school year!
 
My name is Kathy Seter and I am so blessed to be the LEAP/Tadpoles coordinator/teacher.  This is my 13th year at Sacred Heart Academy. I received my undergraduate degree at California State University, Fullerton and completed my post-graduate education at the University of California, Riverside. In addition, I received my Certification in the Education of the Gifted and Talented from UCR in December 2014. Prior to SHA, I was employed by the Redlands Unified School District as the 4th-5th grade Intervention teacher at Lugonia Elementary School and as a substititue teacher throughout the district grades K-12, including Special Education and RISE (Redlands Independent Study Education) program. I am also a member of the California Association for the Gifted (CAG), "an organization of educators and parents who strive to improve education for individuals who demonstrate giftedness."
 
I was blessed to attend Catholic schools (St. Margaret Mary, Chino and Pomona Catholic Girls High Scool) and strongly believe in the value of a faith-filled education.  I have been a proud Catholic school parent since 1996.  My son, Jimmy, is an SHA, Aquinas High School, Marquette University graduate. My daughter, Elizabeth, is an SHA and Aquinas High School graduate, currently attending Grand Canyon University.
 
I am an active member of The Holy Name of Jesus community and enjoy various activities: sporting events, reading, concerts, movies, travel, and time with family and friends.
 
Under the direction of our principal Mrs. Williams LEAP was launched in the Fall of 2012. LEAP is a hands-on, enrichment math program for grades 2-6. I am excited to take on this venture to provide our students with the best possible education in a faith-filled environment.

Reminder - Pizza Party

Don't forget we will be having a pizza party on Monday during lunch! 

Good luck to all our track stars! Have a great weekend.

5th Grade Accelerated Math

Today, all 5th graders began working on Accelerated Math. AM is a computer based math supplement that allows students to work at their own pace on practices and tests. We will periodically use AM in our iPads during class and occasionally I will assign for homework.

PIZZA PARTY

LEAP students did a WONDERFUL job on our March Madness Basketball Math Challenge. I am so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm. We will be celebrating with a lunch time pizza party on Monday, April 14. If your child is scheduled for hot lunch that day, please change to another day.

March Madness Update

WOW, what a crazy tournament! The championship game between UConn and Kentucky will be held Monday April 7. The only students still in the pool are: Bianca and Peter (who picked both UConn and Kentucky!), Sage (UConn), Leigh (Kentucky), and Sheridyn (Kentucky). Point leader as of last week is Peter with 239.

April Fool's Day Math - students learned about the history and traditions of April Fool's Day. We completed worksheets and were even presented with a mathematical challenge... each of us selected different 3-digit numbers, solved numerous equations using this number, ALL ENDED UP WITH THE SAME NUMBER IN THE END, then solved the mystery phrase using our number. Whew, lots of work going on in LEAP!

HUGE THANK YOU to these wonderful Aquinas students: Eric, Merriam, and Allie! Their help on our video is truly appreciated.

The Minions have arrived in LEAP! Soon, coming to a computer screen near you - 3rd Graders display their geometry knowledge along with some pretty great acting skills.
