Auction Projects!

The St. Dominic Auction is fast approaching. In 1st grade we are lucky enough to have two moms who have decided to volunteer and help create our class projects. Be sure to check them out at the auction in a couple weeks! Thanks for all your help Jessi and Rachel!

Diorama Display!

The 1st graders were so proud of all thr hard work they did while creating their dioramas. Last week each class had a chance to visit our classroom and take a peek at them. Then, in the afternoon our parents had a chance to come and look at them. They did such a nice job of explaning their habitat; they loved it!

The Feast of St. Nicholas

Last Friday the 1st graders made shoes to leave out over the weekend for St. Nicholas! Well, he made a visit to our classroom while we were away for the weekend and left behind some chocolately treats in our shoes. Then while we were working in literacy stations on Monday morning, he paid a visit to our classroom!

Visit from the Veterans

Last week we had the great honor of some special visitors from our community - veterans. The kids were so respectful and asked some really great questions!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Wishing you and your entire family a wonderful, happy, safe Thanksgiving! Enjoy this long weekend and we'll see you next week!

All Saints Day!

Sister Bernelle kindly made each of the 1st grades a special crown with their saint name on it for All Saints Day. The children decorated them, loved them and wore them proudly all day! You may have seen a groups picture of the class wearing their crowns in the church bulletin a few weeks ago.

Science Song!

In Science we have been learning about living and non-living things and what makes them different. The children learned a song to help them remember what makes something living. Unfortunately the end of the video was cut off, so here are the lyrics in their enirity:

Plants are living things,
So are animals
So are people and I know
Living things need food and water,
Living things all change and grow!
