It was a delicious day on Wednesday in Pre-K4, because we made DONUTS!! Our little bakers shaped their dough into a circle and poked a hole through. The teachers then cooked the donuts. Of course the best part was decorating and eating our creations!! What a yummy way to study the letter Dd!!!
The Circus Animals in Pre-K3 had a roaring good time parading through the school entertaining everyone with their amazing talents. Monkeys danced, elephants pranced, and the lions and tigers jumped through hoops delighting all that saw them! Lions, Tigers, Elephants, & Monkeys OH MY - A Parade Of Animals Just Went By!!!!
Have you heard of the American legend John Chapman? This man, otherwise known as Johnny Appleseed, was a kind, generous, and religious man who traveled throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and what is now West Virginia, planting apple seeds. In social studies, we learned that he had a passion for apples, enjoyed the outdoors and loved animals. Our Kindergartners created their own special Appleseed and wrote a fact about the life of John Chapman.
Apples here, apples there…apples, apples everywhere! We have been learning all we can about apples this week. We focused on the apple life cycle, the parts of the apple and even had an apple taste test! Our 5th grade buddies joined us for some apple fun on Tuesday. Together we shared some apple information as well as creating an apple mystery picture. It was a fantastic week to be in 1B!!
Monday, our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade after school Writing Clubs joined together to make cards for Father Romaeus. Our school family hopes the cards and prayers will help him to heal, and return to us. We all miss his sweet smiles and beautiful floral arrangements.
Journey through space in the west annex hallway! See the fabulous solar system models that fourth grade has created and read their planet reports. Great job Fourth Grade- your projects are out of this world!

5B had a great time with their 1st Grade buddies this week. They helped them with their Johnny Apple Seed Project and shared stories while eating snacks together. In science, the 5th graders have been learning about space exploration, Newton's Laws of Motion and rockets. They had a blast watching their paper straw rockets go!
Antonio Gutierrez grandfather of Lucas (4B) went to heaven on September 12th in Cali, Colombia. He will be missed very much. “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. “
Apples juicy, apples sweet, apples are so good to eat! First grade is completing a thematic unit on apples and John Chapman, AKA Johnny Appleseed. They conducted science experiments, such as which environment will an apple last the longest?, made homemade applesauce, taste tested several apple products, and compared and contrasted their data. A stem activity was included this week too… Which scientist can build the tallest tower out of cut-up apple pieces?
