Dear 212 Parents & Students, 
Hello! We survived our first full week! Hope you're having a nice weekend! Remember-Right now, our updates will be found on www.scaoaklawn.org. Click Academics>Classroom Pages> Mrs. Loewe> Classroom News. Feel free to check out the other tabs as well, such as Homework, Vocabulary Workshop words, Spelling words, Photos, and Calendar. However, in a few weeks, I will start using Seesaw as my main mode of communication. Details to follow!

Thank you for reviewing and signing Work Folders. You may have noticed students' names highlighted in either yellow, orange, or pink. This helps ensure students put their names on their paper, but also helps me track understanding. A student highlights their name yellow if they understood the assignment and feel pretty good about the concept. Orange means mostly good, but a little confused. Pink means the assignment was hard and that it was confusing. Something else you may notice is a smiley face, squiggly face, or frown face. This refers to the heading. A smiley earns an extra credit point. A squiggly or frown face does not, but it does not count against the student. This helps them learn the heading for the upper grades. :)

We continue taking the i-Ready Diagnostic. We will test in small chunks, about 30 minutes, each day. We strted with Reading. We will continue with Math this week. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast, so they can do their best. I use the results to help me plan. accordingly. It is not a grade. Speaking of, your child's grades are available on PowerSchool this year. You should have received codes on your packet. I'll be adding more grades this week. Any questions, let me know!

Dear 212 Parents and Students

August 17, 2026

Hello, 3rd grade Parents and Students,
My name is Megan (Lynch )Loewe. I am so excited to be at St. Catherine of Alexandria to teach third grade for the fourth year as I begin my 29th year of teaching in Catholic education. As a student, I attended St. Bede the Venerable, Mother McAuley High School, and graduated from Saint Xavier University with a B.S. in Elementary Education. St. Catherine is where my teaching career began way back in 1998. I also taught third grade at St. Bede the Venerable for 16 years. I taught K-5 Title I Reading in Worth for 1 year. Before returning to St. Catherine of Alexandria, my last 5 years were spent at St. Christina. For two of those years, I taught second grade. The last three, I had a fifth grade homeroom, and taught ELA (Grammar & Writing) to 5th &6th grade.

Through my years in education, my philosophy of teaching has been to create a mutual respect between myself and my students while engaging them in their learning through fun and meaningful work. I think it is so important to empower students to identify their strengths and set goals for themselves while having a positive growth mindset. 

My husband. Michael, and I have been married for over 18 years. Our 13 year old son, Colin, attends 8th grade at St. Catherine.

I look forward to a great year ahead!!!

Mrs. Megan Loewe
