Preschoolers had a very important visitor in their classroom. Mr. Peterson who is a mail carrier came and talked with the children about his job. Students were able to dress up like a letter carrier would for all types of weather. They dressed for rain, snow, and sunshine. Now they know how to mail those special Valentine cards!
The second grade at St. Aloysius Campus was able to experience working with a Smart Board. Ms. Meghan Slater, a student teacher from St. Norbert College was able to borrow one and use it with our second grade. Students used the board to do language arts games as a way to get familiar with this technology and brush up on some language skills!

After reading the story Stone Soup and finsihing a unit of study on the food pyramid, the first grade students made their own batch of stone soup for a Thanksgiving celebration. They each brought a small amount of an ingredient to be used in the soup, cleaned and prepared the vegetables, and followed a recipe. The result was a tastey and great smelling soup. They all understood that working together makes the task easier and more fun!
