Ms. Fay from the parish visits classrooms on a monthly rotation to discuss topics aligned with our Religion standards. The past two weeks she visited 3-8 and followed up with Father Juan's lessons on the Order of Mass. Father Tim and Father Richter regularly pop in to classrooms to interact and pray with the students. We love having them in our building.
Each classroom from now until the end of the month will also be working on their Circle of Grace lessons. This is a requirement from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to introduce age appropriate topics to students about safe environments and appropriate relationships.
Today at mass we discussed the importance of having Jesus with us. There will be times throughout life we will surround ourselves with things we think we need, or times where we feel unprepared, but as long as we carry Jesus in our hearts wherever we go - everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
If you would like to volunteer for fieldtrips or at any school event you need to sign up for the Safe Environment training through the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Two upcoming trainings in Racine are listed below.
Thank you all for getting all of our students in attendance on Friday for Count Day. We were able to count everyone with just a couple students absent that we knew were going to be and were able to plan for and document appropriately. Our day was so much fun from different classes having fun Friday activities in the morning, to our events in the afternoon. I loved watching our students laughing and smiling as they danced and played with various grade levels in community with our entire school building.
This week we are still talking about our Monthly virtue of Compassion.
Our intention this week is to: Pay attention to other people's feelings and ask if they need help. We have been talking about this and what it means to help other people without even being asked.
Our SEL Lessons are focused on Boundaries this session.
Students are learning that everyone needs personal space and our boundaries should not be crossed. We are also learning about how to communicate these needs to other people.
-Ms. Fajardo
Did you know Mrs. Manke has been with JPIIA for 27 years? It is no wonder why her classroom runs like clockwork. These third grade students have mastered centers and small group instruction is underway. I absolutely love watching the collaboration with these younger students as they share their excitement for learning with one another.
