Art Project and Special Visitors

We had a fabulous Friday. The second graders were on their best behavior at Mass. They knew all of the answers to the questions Fr. Felipe asked them about First Reconciliation (Saturday at 6:30pm). They sculpted animals out of clay during Art class. Also, they were on their best behavior for our school's guests from the University of Notre Dame.

You can watch a short informational video about the bus tour visits at the link below. Additionally, please enjoy some photos from the art projects:

Have a great weekend. Looking forward to seeing many families on Saturday night!

Phonics Syllables and a Special Visitor

We are back from spring break, and we're working hard in these last few months of school.

In Phonics, we have been reviewing all of our syllable types for single syllable and multi-syllable words:

closed (c) - ex. cat
open (o) - ex. she
magic e (v-e) - ex. make
r-controlled (r) - ex. cart
double vowel (d) - ex. coin

On Wednesday, the students used cereal boxes that were marked up according to their syllables to help generate their own lists of each type. I was proud of how well they worked together and of all the words they listed on their charts!

We are still hoping for spring, but we are enjoying indoor recess as best we can while the rain and the snow keep coming...

Also, please ask your child about our special visitor from today (Thursday)- my twin sister came and enjoyed learning with us! A second Miss Foyle for second grade!

*Please remember*

First Reconciliation - 6:30pm - Saturday, April 5th - at St. Ann church
