Catholic School Spirit!

What a fun week.  I meant to take photos every day but I only managed to take it on Tacky Tuesday.  The kids loved wearing their clothes backwards and mismatched.

I asked the students what their favorite act was from St Mary's music assembly and most of them said it was the boy who did beatboxing.  (That's where you make sounds with your mouth)  So when we came back to the room I played the Dynamite song for them performed by one person using only his mouth for instrument sounds  They liked it so much it turned into a dance party.  Here's the link: Dynamite

Today was our pep rally.  The kids cheered, sang, danced, and participated in a relay race.  Thanks for the extra photos Mrs. Rahill!

Of course we did do school work as well. :-)  We learned more about weather, compared numbers with <, >,=, learned to compare and contrast, and sharpened our map skills.  We also added to our hallway timeline. 

Next week we will not use the reading series, therefore we have no vocabulary or spelling words.  We will be reading and discussing Flat Stanley .  You can look forward to Stanley coming home before the winter break so your child can have adventures with him and write about them in a special journal.

Important dates:
1/30, 1/31- DeSales musical at the Palace- I went last night- it was wonderful!
2/6- Candy orders due
