The kids had a blast during the bike rodeo today! They were taught how to wear their helmets properly to prevent injury. They practiced using road signs appropriately. They were also able to see how fragile the human brain is. Remember to always check that your helmet has been certified. Bike safely this summer. 👷

Preparing for Spring

Lots of fun has been happening in our classroom.

All students have planted sunflower and marigold seeds.  Each day students are excited to see how much their plants have grown.  



Students have painted an art piece of Jesus on the Cross to remember the sacrifice He made for us.  They each turned out very unique and beautiful. 

  All grade 3 students have been learning and practicing for several weeks for Dance Showcase.  I have been in a few times, and it is wonderful to see how much they have learned and improved in just a few short weeks!  Bravo!

Valentine's & Our 1st Skate!

For Valentines, students were challenged to create as many Valentine words as possible using toothpicks and marshmallows. The second part of the challenge was to record how many vertices and sides each word had.  It was a lot of fun to see their creativity.

On Wednesday, we joined Mr. Kline's class to go skating.  It was a perfect afternoon.  We watched kids develop their confidence on the ice, even when they were very nervous at the beginning.  Students showed perseverance by getting up after a fall and leadership when they were teaching each other how to skate.  

A big thank you to the parents who joined us and the grade 5 students who helped tie skates!
