Kaukauna Library Reading Program

Rose Selle – came to Holy Cross Campus on Wednesday (May 19^th) to share with the third and fourth grade students about the Kaukauna Library Reading program. She also shared a really fun bird story and dressed up a bird to go along with the story. The students are now very anxious to take part in the Kaukauna Library Program

Little Theatre

Mrs. Kortz’s Little Theater is a Language Arts program that the second grade puts on each spring at St. Aloysius Campus of the Kaukauna Catholic School System. This year it involved puppetry, a play called "Choosing the Easter Rabbit", songs like "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Walking With Jesus". Each student wrote and shared a short introduction about them self. The students share their creative God-given talents with family and friends.

Science Fair

Third graders are sharing their "Secret Message" science project with fourth graders. The third grade put on a "mini Science Fair" for all the of fourth grade. The students got into groups and selected several different experiments to write up for their display boards. During the fair they demonstrated the experiments for the students. Each write up included Problem, Hypothesis, Materials, Steps, and Conclusion.

Mother's Day Tea

First graders of St. Aloysius Campus treated their Moms to a Mother's Day Tea on May 7. They performed four skits: Mr. Maybe, Six Wise Travelers, Supper with the Queen, and The Rabbits and the Wolf.

They also did a poem/pantomime called "Dedicated to All Mothers" and a special Mom version of the ABC song, a tribute to the Blessed Mother Mary, and the closing song "A Blessing for Mothers" was sung with actions. Gifts were presented to the Moms with a poem about flowers (typed by the students) and a sewn flower pin. Of course, the favorite part of the program for the children was serving punch and cookies.

Wise with $$$$$

Both of these pictures show Mrs. Grootemont, Administrative Assistant, at East Wisconsin Savings Bank in Kaukauna reading a fun story to both third grade classes at Holy Cross School. The story was all about wanting things but realizing a person just might have to wait and save to purchase those extra fun things. The students also received a certificate and a little Piggy Bank as a way of reminding them about the lessons they learned today about being wise with their money to make sure they will have enough to do all they want to do in the future.

Earth Day 2010 at St. Aloysius Campus

Preschool saw a butterfly come out of its cocoon on Earth Day. They are feeding it sugar water and oranges. When it is big enough they will release it outside.

Pre K used their Weekly Reader to find ways how to help the Earth not just on Earth Day but everyday!

Kindergarteners read a book “The Great Kapok Tree” on Earth Day 2010. They cut out leaves and wrote on them how they could help our planet earth. The leaves were hung on their very own Kapok tree outside their classroom.

First graders cleaned up the playground and sport court area on Earth Day. They see that people don’t always use the trash container when they have garbage. Their message to everyone everyday is, “Don’t litter the Earth it is our home that God has created for us”!

Second graders decided to create Spring Art Characters out of recyclable items for their Earth Day project. They also are sending a thank you letter to the Thousand Island Environmental Center for helping us to enjoy our beautiful nature in our community.
