We had our classroom Modern Woodman Speech Contest this week.  Congratulations to Hunter, Brandon, Molly, and Mason who will advance to the school competition on Monday.  Be sure to practice your speech this weekend. 

Today was the first full day of spring!  Get out and enjoy the warmer weather this weekend.

Today in grammar we are learning about regular and irregular verbs.The 5th graders are learning about how to change improper fractions into mixed numbers.  We will be using the IXL for both our English and math practice today.  Please be sure to find some time to get on the computer today for this important practice.  It sure is nice not to have to carry all those books home, though, isn't it?

Many things have happened since we last posted on the blog.  We had our Mardi Gras, and together the students raised over $500.  We began Lent yesterday with our Ash Wednesday Mass.
The 5th and 6th graders were introduced to a website called IXL (I excel).  Please see the note your child brought home for more information.  We are very excited to see how this website can supplement our math program at St. Joe's.
The students are making nice progress on the Modern Woodmen speeches.  They have put forth great effort, and I am looking forward to their final speeches which are due on Friday, March 14th.

We have been working on Modern Woodsmen. We also are doing a fun project in art class. The sixth graders also have a Social Studies project which is a lot of fun.

The fifth graders are doing a great job working through our IOWA Tests.  I am very pleased with the apparent effort and level of seriousness I am observing in their approach to these tests.
We will be having Band tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 28.
Just a reminder that we will be hosting the "Soda Bottle Ring Toss" game for the Mardi Gras.  Please send in either 2 liter bottles or a 6 or 8 pack of smaller bottles- soda, water, lemonade, fruit juice, etc.  You may consider flavors your family enjoys because the unused bottles are returned home for your enjoyment.  Thanks!
