Catholic Schools Week
What an exciting week it was! Monday we were fortunate enough to celebrate Mass. The Fourth Grade did a wonderful job doing the readings, petitions, and gifts. We had a special opening of Catholic Schools Week read by Kaitlyn and a wonderful closing prayer by Jacob. All of the students were reverent, participated fully, and represented the Fourth Grade with flying colors!! Tuesday we were all feeling a little lazy since we got to wear our P.J.'s to school! Our read-in was a lot of fun as the kids pushed back the desks and camped out on the floor with a good book and a favorite stuffed animal. Wednesday was a special treat - SNOW DAY!! Thursday we found ourselves with crazy hair, crazy hats, and mismatched clothes. What a wild day!! The students enjoyed a talent show in the afternoon. I didn't know we had so much talent in the fourth grade!! Congratulations to George, Natasha, Jacob, Dominic, Cmaeron, Kaitlyn and Mary for doing a wonderful job in the Talent Show. You were amazing!! The PTO held a funtastic carnival in the evening. Dominic and I competed in Just Dance. I am sorry to say that Dominic beat me to the 80's tune of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I thought I had it in the bag with that one!!! Friday was the kickball and volleyball competitions. 4th Grade prevailed over the 5th Grade, however, I heard the 5th Grade gave them a run for their money! I was very sorry that I wasn't there to see it as I was at the Academic Olympics at Cabrini High School with the 7th and 8th grade. School is back to normal this week....Ho Hum!!

Wrapping up the 2nd Quarter
Hello everyone! I cannot believe we have reached the end of the 2nd quarter already! Time definitely flies when you're having fun (and it is fun teaching your children)!! I thought it would be interesting to reflect on some of the highlights of this past quarter:
- We took an exciting trip to the Detroit Science Center
- Celebrated Thanksgiving & Christmas with our whole school breaking bread together
- Don't forget the Thanksgiving Fowlies and the Turkey Trot!!
- 4th Graders learned about electricity & magnetism, the Michigan economy, 2-digit multiplication, and began learning about Earth's plates and what causes earthquakes & volcanoes
- Students read the novel Bridge to Terabithia
- Students also learned more about the Advent season and the Ten Commandments and did a wonderful job reading at Mass
I am sure that the 3rd Quarter will be just as rewarding as the first two!!
