High School Students Visit Second Grade

Mr. Eric Thiede’s high school students visited preschool, pre k and second grade classrooms as part of their sociology class. They observed student’s behavior at this level in the classroom and compared their observations to students at the high school level. Mr. Thiede and some of his students are former students of Kaukauna Catholic School System. It is always nice to have them come and visit us.

Career Fair

Holy Cross guidance counselor, Mrs. Teri Ricker, went along with the 8th graders to a Career Fair on March 24th, 2010. The students had been working with Mrs. Ricker to research different occupations and what type of education the students would need to be working in that field in the future. This Career Fair gave the students an up close and personal chance to listen to people who are presently working in these occupations. The students came back from the Fair with information on occupations that they really had not thought about for themselves in the future. This was a wonderful experience for the students.

Irish Math - Kindergarten Style

Kindergartners in Ms. Richter’s class had a fun math class on St. Patrick’s Day. They used Lucky Charms to learn how to graph. Sorting, counting, color and shape recognition were skills used to learn “Irish Math”. It was a lot of fun and yummy too!

Original Stories by Eighth Grade

On March 18th the students from St. Aloysius Campus traveled over to Holy Cross Campus to listen to original stories written by 8th grade students. The 8th graders had spent a lot of time this third quarter to write these stories. Their motivation was once all their stories were finished they would then share them with these younger students. All the students from St. Aloysius thoroughly enjoyed the stories.

Preparing for the Art & Technology Fair in April

These 3rd grade students are doing a project for the school Art and Technology Fair in April. The students are taking drawing instructions from a website. They are listening to the artist as to how to do the drawing, as well as, seeing the drawing being completed step by step. With it being on the computer the students are able to pause, the instructor if they need to, and also back it up if they want to see or hear the directions again. The students are having a great time following along and doing drawings that they are very proud of and they should be. This is just another way of using Computer Technology as part of the school curriculum.

Kindergartners celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2 by reading the story of Green Eggs and Ham. They were treated to actual green eggs and ham prepared by their teacher, Ms. Richter. Some students ate it right up others a bit more hesitant. Later they read their favorite Dr. Seuss books and wore Dr. Seuss hats.
