A little late on this post but the 2nd and 3rd
graders worked well together in partners to help make the pumpkin pies for our
Thanksgiving meal.They used math skills
by measuring out the ingredients for each pie.I was so proud of how they took turns when it was their turn to measure
the ingredients.I was able to catch
some of these moments on camera.
If you are around this Sunday, October 26 please plan to
attend St. Joseph’s Parish Auction at the Atkinson Community Center.Coffee and rolls will be served in the morning
and lunch throughout the day.The auction begins at 11:00.The 2nd and 3rd graders
painted pumpkins that are currently on display at Great Western Bank and will
be auctioned off on Sunday.They did a
great job of painting their pumpkins.See you at the auction!
The Kindergarten through third grade students recently
enjoyed a blustery fall morning at Liewer Gardens to find their perfect
pumpkin.The students helped load some
pumpkins in the back of the pickup before finding theirs.After they all found their pumpkin we enjoyed
a snack before we headed into Butte to do a craft at Country Dreams.Thanks to the parents who helped in any way
to make our visit to the pumpkin patch possible.
The 2nd and 3rd grade students studied
the cardinal and intermediate directions in Social Studies.We discussed the directions in the classroom
and to help review the directions we used the basketball court.The students had to say if the direction they
had was a cardinal or intermediate direction and then go the spot on the
basketball court that was the correct direction.They enjoyed being outside for class.
On Friday, September 12, the second and third graders
had a program for their grandparents.This was in honor of Grandparents Day.The students recited two poems and sang a song for everyone in
attendance.They also presented their
gifts to their grandparents who were able to attend.They made Grandma and Grandpa diplomas and
also gave them a pot holder with their hand print on it. We then watched
a video that showed our grandparents.We ended our program with cookies, punch, and visiting.Some of the grandparents were unable to
attend so parents came so every student was represented.It was so great to have all those who could attend
and we missed those who couldn’t attend.
