Faith Builders

Today the Faith Builders from the Mequon campus shared their faith with us. The kids learned the meaning of "hallow" which means holy. Halloween means "All Hallows" or Holy Eve. In other words, the day before All Saints Day.  The saints that they learned about included Daniel, St. Sophia, Noah, St. Joan of Arc, Archangel Michael, St. Patrick, St. Joseph and St. Barbara. They had fun playing carnival games with the "saints."

LCTV

Checkout LCTV on the school website. We were the news announcers for Tuesday, October, 28, 2014. It was a nice experience in choosing news ideas and writing short clips. Sean and Michael S. did a great job as videographers. 

Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day was very special to all of us. Mr. Bucheger class did the Mass and Ava and Sean were acolytes. After Mass the grandparents came Into the classrooms for muffins and juice. The kids had fun sharing their work and activities. They shared their blogs, showed them Extra Math and Compass Learning on the computers. In Mrs. Callahan's class they enjoyed the spelling Game "Popcorn." They are always invited to visit us. It was an awesome time!

Calcite Quest

Mrs. Callahan's class is trying to discover if calcite is found in certain rocks. The kids mixed vinegar with balsa let, marble, sandstone and limestone rocks. The evidence for calcite is if there are bubbles surrounding the rock. Still waiting on results from the evaporation phase.

Creation

In religion class we have been discussing the beauty of God's creation. We all wrote intentions that we share each day where we are asking for God's loving care. If you would like any special intentions to be included in our box, please send them with your child.

Acolytes

The third graders are excited about the responsibility of being acolytes. Ben and Lilly did an excellent job being acolytes at Mass. 

Math Facts

 We are working in improving our fluency in math. We have a packet of math sheets in a plastic sleeve that we can take home and practice. Every  Friday we are then tested on how well we can do in one minute. Our goal is for all of us to be successful in our facts!
