Prayer Partners make brownies for the homeless,
February has come and gone so quickly! It’s hard to believe March has arrived.
Third graders have been busy learning new concepts and preparing to take the Terra Nova Achievement Test which is being given during the first week of March.
In social studies the students learned about Presidents Lincoln and Washington. They also learned about many famous African Americans including Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and several others.
The students enjoyed a trip to the Adler Planetarium in which they explored the museum exhibits and saw a sky show entitled “Discover Our Universe.”
Grade 3 is finishing up learning multiplication and division facts. Shortly they will begin working on geometry.
Eating healthy has been the focus in science.
The season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday. All the students made Lenten sacrifices/promises which they are trying hard to keep. We will continue to explore this special season of the Church.
Third grade will begin exploring the country of Ireland for Global Fest with St. Patrick’s Day approaching. A field trip to the Old Town School of Folk Music to see an Irish dance performance is planned for March 17th.
Birthday wishes go out to Sammie Henrikensen who celebrates her special day on March 10th and Mariano Bonomo who celebrates his on March 16th.
Our prayers go out to Sr. Katie who broke her ankle. We are hoping for a speedy recovery.
Hopefully spring has finally sprung and warm weather is on the way. A sure sign of spring is that Cub’s spring training has finally begun. Go Cubs!!!
