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!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun afternoon celebrating Halloween in 1st grade: pumpkin and cupcake decorating, pumpkin bowling, toilet paper mummies and a scavenger hunt!

Pumpkin Seeds!

Today we spent some time getting messy, ooey and gooey digging out the seeds of a pumpkin. Then the kids worked in small groups to count the pumpkin seeds! The 1st graders came up with 297 seeds... give or take a few. :)

Special Guest Day

On Wednesday, October 27 we celebrated an afternoon of special guests. We had grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, mentors, parents, and siblings visiting! It was a fun afternoon of lunch, games, coloring, and touring.

The Great Wall of China!

Last week we learned about The Great Wall of China! The children worked in small groups to create a small replica of The Great Wall using sugar cubes. When the groups finished, we lined each part up and made a longer wall!
