Learning Editing

There is a reason for editors! In English we are working on opinion writing. The students have done very well expressing their opinion, but to edit their work is a challenging task. It takes time and patience to reread their work and write parts over.

 So the challenge in Mrs. Callahan's class was to see how many changes needed to be done by the whole class. Every time a child found an error in their writing they were to come up to the smart board, ring a bell, and make a tally on the smartnoard. Skip a period, ring the bell and tally, misspelled word, ring the bell and tally, run on sentence, ring the bell and tally. It was amazing how motivated the class became trying to find their mistakes. Then they shared it with a friend to look for more. Below is the tally board and we ended up with about 130 errors that they corrected. I was so proud of the class after I read their work again with either none or few errors. Job well done!

Holy Thursday

The third graders performed a very special Holy Thursday presentation for the Thiensville campus. Check out the short play and the song that they did on the YouTube channel on our school website.

Have a Happy and blessed Easter.

Irish Dancers

The Belgan Irish Dancers came to our campus and put on an amazing show. It was exciting to watch three of our classmates share their talents of Irish dance. The hard working dancers are Sophia, Ava, and Natalie. Congratulations on a great job. They were joined with three students from the Mequon campus. They are Maggie McDevitt, Tess Papageorge, and Riley West. Great dancing!

Basketball Routine

Check us out on the Lumen Christi YouTube channel. This sight can be found on the Lumen Christi homepage.

The third graders did an amazing basketball routine for their parents. Mrs. Berns has created an amazing routine to music with the kids using many skills with a basketball. It is quite impressive that 35 kids can synchronize with their steps and ball handling skills.

Congratulations 3rd graders! A job well done!

4K Reading/Project

We enjoy reading to our friends in 4K. It gives us the opportunity to practice our fluency in reading. We also helped Mrs. Stark's class make books in the app Book Creator. Their drawings about their family and favorite things were adorable. It's hard to believe just a few years ago we were drawing those kind of pictures. We helped them record their voices to make it a complete book. We always look forward to helping them.

Newcastle and Living Rosary

We ended Catholic Schools Week by going to Newcastle as a campus. We sang songs for the residences. Jake got to share the singing with his grandmother. Thank you to Mrs. Melichar for making the day so special.

At the end of the day on Friday we gathered in prayer and prayed the rosary. It was a wonderful way to share our faith and to be proud students of Lumen Christi Catholic School.
