We joyfully celebrated the many blessings of attending a Catholic school this week. Each day brought a unique opportunity to express our school spirit through special dress-up themes including Pajama Day, School Spirit Day, Hobby or Sports Day, Character Day, and Dress Your Best Day. Alongside these fun activities, there was a special event each day that fostered community and creativity.
On Monday, our hearts were warmed as we created Birthday Bags for the food shelf, spreading joy to those in need. Tuesday was filled with excitement as we enjoyed a fun-filled roller skating adventure at the Skatin’ Place in St. Cloud. Wednesday saw us engaged in enriching mini-courses throughout the morning, sparking our curiosity and creativity. On Thursday, we unleashed our imaginations as we spent the afternoon building with a variety of blocks and supplies. Finally, on Friday, we wrapped up the week with a thrilling game of BINGO led by Mrs. Dietrich! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making our week so extraordinary.
Our theme of the week was winter, which provided us with a wonderful framework for exploration. We began our journey by learning about the sun, discovering that it is, in fact, a star that gives our Earth both heat and light. As we delved into the relationship between the Earth and the sun, we uncovered the fascinating reasons behind the changing seasons. We then ventured into a detailed exploration of each season, examining the unique weather patterns, the activities we love to engage in, and how our clothing choices reflect the seasonal changes. Additionally, we completed a writing project where we expressed our thoughts about our favorite winter activities in the snow.
