Our St. Francis of Assisi Pumpkin Projects

In Religion class, we learned about the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. We learned that he loved Mother Nature and animals. He loved them so much that he used the terms "brother" or "sister" to refer to them - brother wolf, sister sun, etc.

Each child chose one animal to make; a wolf because St. Francis was able to calm "brother wolf", a dove as a symbol of peace, or a pig that were common to the town of Assisi. Enjoy the pictures of us painting the pumpkins first then adding details to transform our pumpkins into animals. They are currently on display in the lobby. A special thank you to Mrs. Soegard for coordinating this project.

Our 100th Day of School!

Thursday, February 13th was our 100th day of school! We have been tallying 100 days of school, charted 100 days of weather and recorded this information on bar graphs, have been counting ones, tens, and soon to be hundreds, have learned different combinations of 100 cents, as well as other activities. We had a surprise pancake and sausage breakfast with one sausage link placed vertically on each plate, and two pancakes to the right of the sausage to form the number 100! Of course, second helpings were popular. Here we are in our 100 day hats or tee shirts decorated with 100 items. The children did a wonderful job on them!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

March 2nd was Dr. Seuss' birthday. We brought in Dr. Seuss books from our houses and also used the ones in our class library to do some fun activities. We made Cat in the Hat hats. Looking through many Dr. Seuss books, the children found pairs of rhyming words and wrote them on the white stripes of their hats. We found some pretty wacky words that Dr. Seuss enjoyed using in his books. Buddy reading Dr. Seuss books with a friend was a highlight of the day!
