GREAT JOB ON MAP TESTING!


If you have any questions, please let me know. 

It has been a very eventful year so far for the third graders.  They have been working on Project-Based Learning in many subject areas.  They have extended their Social Studies lesson about the Arctic and developed 3-dimensional figures of polar bears and igloos simply by using pipe cleaners and marshmallows.  It was a “sweet” project!  

They are also moving on to learn the basics of economics!  They are becoming aware of the goods and services that are all around them.  These goods and services help them to understand how a community survives and how it affects our daily lives.  This lesson also helps them appreciate the hard work and sacrifices of their parents.

In Math, students are continuing their basic facts (now up to Multiplication and Division) which leads us to story problems and fractions which often directly affect them in their daily lives.  Just by simply dividing up pieces of a pizza on family night can be a learning experience!  

Both classes have had the opportunity to participate in Mass in December and January.  They can name statues, explain the parts of the Mass, and many of them may even become servers next year.  It is amazing to see how well they are able to read the Liturgy of the Word and honor Christ in a special way. 

We are staying warm during these winter months and are excited as we head into “Catholic Schools Week”.  We have so many fun things planned! Stay tuned…
