Catholic Schools Week

We've had a great Catholic schools week so far! I was amazed by the quality of posters that the students turned in, and touched by all the great things they had to say about the school. Thank you also to everybody who sent in the delicious food for the teacher luncheon! The students enjoyed reading with their blankets and pillows on Monday, and we made heart shaped Valentine card holders with our buddies yesterday. Don't forget that tomorrow students are wearing red to match with our buddy class, and all families are invited to visit school between 8:30-11:45. We will be going to an all-school Mass, attending the awards ceremony, then completing a fun social studies activity. Afterwards, the students have lunch from 11-11:45. Friday is spirit day, and we will have the whole school Olympics. Students should be in their gym uniforms.

While we learn about the Northeast in social studies, students are making a scrapbook poster to show different features of the region. This will be due the week of the test (probably in about 2 and a half weeks). One of the things they need to include is a picture from the Library of Congress. We went to the computer lab last week to print them, but some students were not able to finish in time. Here is the link in case they'd like to print them from home: Library of Congress: Explore the States.
