Spring is in the air! What a relief to finally be able to go outside and enjoy this week's weather!

Catholic Schools Week

This week we are celebrating Catholic Schools week. This year we are honoring our first responders. The fifth grade made many beautiful cards to show their appreciation!

The students are learning about the Native American regions in N. America. Here is just a sampling of their presentations, sharing what they learned

Friday was a flex day and we celebrated national hat day! Also we spent some time experimenting with our knowledge of force and motion. We predicted if the change in mass or friction upon a toy car will change the distance.

Getting STEMMY

In Science we started our unit on Physical Science.

What a better way for them to begin with a "stemmy" activity. Their goal was to design a helicopter out of 1 sheet of paper and 2 paper clips. If their helicopter spun 3 full rotations before hitting the ground, the mission was a success! This activity introduced the topics of gravity and air resistance.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
