The students had lots of fun at the Field Museum last week! They also did a great job on their social studies tests. We'd recently talked about different ways to study, and I hope that some of these methods are working for the students.
In science, the students had a blast today participating in the "Metric Olympics." They needed to predict the volume of water in a cup, the mass of a marble, and how far Gabriel could jump, among other things! It was a great way to practice different types of measurements and using the metric system. We will have a test next week on Thursday, January 31, about the properties of matter. Next week on Friday, February 1, the Whipping Boy projects are also due. I'm looking forward to seeing all of them! Please let me know if you have any questions about them.
Catholic Schools Week begins next week as well, which is a time to celebrate all the things that make our school great! I'm sure you've seen the schedule in the Tuesday folder, but here are just a few reminders:
Monday is pajama day, and students can wear pajamas to school. They should have a book with them that they'd like to read, and they can bring a pillow or blanket, but the students cannot share anything that their head will rest against.
The Catholic Schools Week posters are due on Tuesday. Everyone needs to complete one, and the theme is "How have Catholic schools changed me?" Students can wear a shirt from their favorite team.
Thursday is the awards ceremony, which will take place in the downstairs gym right after Mass (probably around 9:30). Everyone is invited to this, then welcome to come back up to the classroom to observe a lesson. We are wearing the same color as our buddies that day, which is red.
Finally, on Friday, we'll be having our school Olympics.
