Great job to our 7th graders for preparing and reading in today's Mass. A huge thank you to Fr. Mock for celebrating Mass with us today. It's always a treat when he stops by. Today he gave us a little lesson on what exactly a priest wears to Mass and what the sacred vessels are that actually hold the body and blood (host and wine). It was interesting for everyone to learn these basics that some of us never really knew before.
Today was a beautiful spring day!!! Miss Wiktor's 3rd-grade class went outside to release their butterflies in the prayer garden this afternoon. The class even took advantage of the beautiful weather by drawing and labeling parts of the butterfly with chalk. Take a peak if you get a chance (if the rain holds up!) Maybe you'll even see one of the butterflies flying around!!!
Mrs. Grad's 1st Grade learned about the solar eclipse and then came up with a group paragraph about it. Each student then drew a picture of it.
Miss Richards and Ms. Luna's kindergarten class got into the Easter spirit this week! On Monday, the class did a fun Easter basket craft. On Tuesday, they did a subtraction Easter cookie craft. Wednesday was Peep Day! Students got to adopt a peep, name it, and say what it likes to do. They had to care for it throughout the day. Then the class did a science experiment to see if a Peep would dissolve in different liquids. Students also searched for eggs in the classroom. They each found an egg with their name on it with a special Peep plush inside. To end their day, they watched the movie Hop!
The Easter Bunny and his trusted companion, the Carrot stopped by on Wednesday before our students went on Spring break. They made the rounds to the classes and said hello to the kiddos and wished them all a very happy Easter. The kids were so excited to see them both! Thank you so much to the Easter Bunny and Carrot for stopping by and making the kids so happy, especially since their schedules are pretty busy right about now!
The Pre-K 3 classes got together on Wednesday for a pizza party to celebrate Easter. After their party, Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Fuglewicz's class had a mini Easter egg hunt in their classroom.
Welcome to Starbooks Cafe! Miss Hull's class did their annual book tasting last week. Everyone looks forward to the day when the 2nd-grade classroom turns into a coffeehouse! The day started with each student creating and pricing their own drinks. They also reviewed books and did a few math activities dealing with money at the cafe. Of course, the day ended with "coffee sampling" (not really, we're not going to give children coffee in a school!) and cake pops!
Floppy and Hoppy made another appearance at Southtowns Catholic! This time, they stopped by 1st grade to meet with students and hop around a bit. Mrs. Rich brought plenty of yummy veggies for the kiddos to feed to our furry friends. Daniel loved showing off his little pets.
Thanks, Rich family for bringing in the bunnies, especially when it's such a busy time of year for them! 🐰 Miss Ineson's 4th grade made structures and designs out of jellybeans and toothpicks as a STEM activity. Crafty group of kiddos here!
Miss Hull's 2nd grade did a persuasive writing activity this week where they discussed how much screen time kids their age should have. What do you think their answers were??
They also completed a math Easter egg hunt for prizes! |
