We are in desperate need of kleenex, paper towels, band-aids, and clorox wipes for our classroom as the year is winding down. If you have any of these items at home and could send one in with your child, it would be greatly appreciated!
Yesterday, we got to see our faith partners so that we could color Easter eggs together. We all had a good time, and the eggs came out beautifully! Everyone in our class ate theirs at lunch, though! See some pictures below. As we prepare for the last day of school before Easter break, I want to wish everyone a blessed Easter and a safe and relaxing break from school.
We had our talent show on Wednesday. The school was entertained by singers, jokesters, and even some gymnastics. Below are some pictures from our school assembly.
On March 14, 2 of our students, Alexsandra (8th grade) and Karina (7th grade), competed in the Region 2 science fair. Region 2 includes all of the non-public schools in the city and surrounding suburbs. They did a terrific job preparing for the science fair, and we are so proud of them. Alex got a gold award and Karina got a bronze award. Great job, girls!See pictures of them with their projects below.
This is just a reminder to everyone that due to the set up for the Glimmer Auction, we will not be having our regular gym class on Thursday. We will instead be having gym class on MONDAY, March 16th. Please remember to bring your gym uniform!!!
This week has been a busy one so far! On Monday, we decorated our classroom door in celebration of Catholic Schools Week. Tuesday, we met with our Faith Partners to make cards for the residents of Bishop Conway House, and today was Sports Day. 5th and 6th grade played each other in floor hockey this morning, and the teachers played the 8th graders this afternoon. Below are some pictures of our week so far.
Welcome back to school! I hope that everyone enjoyed a restful Christmas break. Below are some pictures that we took on the last day of school before Christmas break. In some of the pictures, we were playing outside in the snow, and in some we were with our faith partners making ice cream. It was a fun day!
Below are links to the information and worksheets that all 5th-8th grade students have gotten about science fair or will be getting in the next week or so. If you would like, you may print them out.
Other than the first 3 items, all of these worksheets and readings came from www.sciencebuddies.org . It is a terrific site that can give you a lot of help as you are working on your science fair project. If you have any questions, please e-mail me or call me at school. Students are always welcome to come see me in the morning before school or after school as long as I don't have a meeting.
