Food Portraits

In art class we learned about Giuseppe Arcimboldo. His art is made from using fruit and vegetables. He was very creative and his art motivated us to create our own "Food Portraits." Enjoy!

Shamrock Raffle

Who's ready for some prizes? Friday is the Teacher Treasure Raffle. The teachers are putting on a raffle for the kids. Each kid brings in money and puts it in a bag to have their ticket. One of our big prizes is Olaf! He is a piñata filled with candy and prizes. Good luck!

Lent

We are preparing are hearts to show our love to God. Jesus taught us about sacrifice and love. We shared our thoughts about what we could do during Lent. We took our ideas and placed them in a wordle to symbolize our thoughts and wrote a paragraph about our plans for the season of Lent.

Valentines Day

Today we all got together and did "Valentine Math." We made fortune tellers to review polygons and other geometric shapes. We made multiplication arrays with candy hearts and did a math activity to find bible quotes on love. A great math class!

Today in class we had a valentine party it was so much fun! We went around the room giving our Valentines to people. When everyone gave out their valentines we watched a movie and talked and ate candy! Happy Valentine's Day! By Olivia

Polygons

The third graders are learning about polygons. A polygon is a flat shape with sides. A circle is not a polygon. According to Michael B. and Fredo the polygons are triangles, rectangles, octagon, squares,trapezoid, parallegram, rhombus, decagon, pentagon and hexagon. We took these shapes and created people and Lilly created a dog. They then told stories about them. Take a peek at their imagination.

Catholic Schools Week

We started Catholic Schools Week at the Mequon campus with a special Mass.We sat with our 7th grade buddies for Mass. Afterwards we went to the gym and got into teams. There was one child from each grade on a team. The different teams went off to different activities. One activity was Jump Rope for Heart in the gym. We raised a lot of money for this event. After jumping around groups went to another activity. One was "Trivia" where we went around to different stations and answered questions. We had a final play off with 3 teams in the gym. It was lots of fun. The other planned activity was making bookmarks that were taken to Newcastle to share with the residences. We also made cards for Children's Hospital and played Bingo. We ended the fun day with our 7th grade buddies playing a drawing game. Lots of fun and laughs! Great day, great memory and blessed that we are able to share our faith with our friends!

Wacky Wednesday

Catholic Schools Weeks continues with Wacky Wednesday. The children were very creative with dressing "wacky." We still had a regular work day, but we found the time to take pictures of ourselves and friends and wrote on our own blogs. Check it out.
