Discovery World

The 3rd graders had an awesome day at Discovery World. There was so much to explore. We learned about energy,sea creatures, and a big ship called the Challenge. We petted stingrays and layed on a needle bed. 

Discovery World is so much fun that you should go every day!!

Happy New Year 2014

We really enjoyed the long vacation. The polar vortex with wind chills at -45 degrees was enough to keep us home for two extra days. It was nice to get back to school. Since we have been back we have been very busy. We are becoming experts at multiplication and division. We are looking forward to doing our facts and earning an ice cream sundae. The uber words from Mr. Dufner are hard, but most of us get them right. The word this week was "fluorescent." Map testing is this week and we are working in math in the Compass program. We are doing a few projects to getting ready for Catholic Schools Week. We think we will be busy all year!

Advent

We are preparing our hearts during this Advent season. We start each week with a prayer service and the lighting of the candles on the Advent wreath. Each child has a Jesse Tree packet that they are coloring each day as they learn all about the ancestors of Jesus, starting with Adam and Eve. We also do a kind act from our Advent chain each day. The kids also made stockings for St. Nick.

We have received the sacrament of Reconciliation as we are getting ready for Christmas. We also helped the parish by switching all of the prayer books to the new edition. Placemats were made for the veterans for Thanksgiving and we will do it again for Christmas.

We enjoyed learning all the different places that our ancestors came from. We created dolls to symbolize our family.

Veterans Day

The Thiensville campus celebrated Mass on Wednesday with the veterans. Each child wrote a letter thanking a veteran for their service to our country. After Mass they joined them for some breakfast treats and conversation. We were very proud on how respectful they were to the veterans.

On Friday afternoon both classes went to the Upper Room in the church and enjoyed independent reading. Nothing is better than a nice block of time to relax and read a good book!
