I Want Candy!

10/30/2015

 
Candy, it's not just for eating!  Grade 2, with the help of their grade 7 buddies, had a fun math graphing lesson.  Students were given various colored Skittles candy and graphed them.   Together they added up the columns of the graph and discovered that GREEN ruled.  Be safe tomorrow night and be sure to collect and sort your candy with the help of mom and dad too!

#facebookfriday:  Freedom isn't Free!

10/30/2015

 
On Thursday, October 29th, our Grade 7 students enjoyed a highly educational trip to Boston. This was the culminating event for their unit on Tyranny and events leading to the Revolutionary War. They walked the Freedom Trail with a costumed guide, then enjoyed the many delights of Quincy Market for lunch. Then, as a prelude to a unit on biomes in Life Science, they walked to the New England Aquarium and explored their many displays and demonstrations.
 
Funding for this trip was primarily covered through the fund raising activities of Grade 7 parents, to whom we are very grateful! Also, thank you to our chaperones who helped to keep our students safe and on-topic.  Follow this link to see more photos of this trip:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/8395759@N02/sets/72157658177739844

Pumpkin Fun Inside & Out

10/28/2015

 
Today in Pre-k we explored pumpkins, both inside and out! The following dialogue occurred between a few of our friends...notice all of the learning that's happening: language development and vocabulary, scientific processes, cause and effect, fine-motor control, relating to others, sequence, change and causality, number concepts as well as cognitive development!

Brynn:"This pumpkin is so hard!"
Noah:"But it's not for me. Oh, look my seeds float!"
Brynn:" I have 16 seeds."
Brayden:"No, there are 100 seeds in there!"
Jacob:" I have 100 seeds, too Brayden!"
Brynn:" I'm going to put water on my pumpkin!"
Noah: "Me too!"
Brayden:"Me too! Hey, now it's all wet!"
Brynn:"Yeah, but now it's softer!"
Brayden: "Yeah, now it's more softer so, I can cut it!"
Kylie: "Mines's softer too, so now I can use these (jumbo tweezers)!"

From Scribbles to Sentences

10/20/2015

 
​In Kindergarten, scribbles become our sentences.  We begin writing with where they are most comfortable. As we all know, these children are bursting with thoughts and notions of their world.  These thoughts are what makes great sentences and eventually amazing stories.  Our kindergartners at St. Joe’s are ready to delve into their new writing journals.  Their parents participated in a writing process workshop with our kindergarten teachers earlier this month.  Following a Power Point on stages of the writing process including how writing is assessed, each parent lovingly stitched and designed original writing journals for his/her child.  Presentation to the children was reminiscent of Christmas morning.  Writing is a skill that requires daily practice.  Journaling is a great way for our kindergartners to articulate thoughts and measure their progress.

They sharpened their writing and exploring skills the other day with their grade 5 buddies. Together they filled out a survey called All About My Buddy and All About Me.  They all enjoyed their time together!

​Saint Joseph School is a great place to learn about our Catholic Faith.  Our classes are small and our dedicated teachers help your child excel!  Our students love our new Computer and Science programs.  Students also enjoy our competitive Sports league and excellent Drama program.  Many students go onto to play High School sports or hit the stage in High School Productions too!   St. Joseph School, a Pre-Kindergarten through grade 8, the curriculum and classroom instruction focuses on maximizing individual student achievement and strength of character.  St. Joseph School's mission is to partner with you in preparing your children to be Christian leaders who choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self, and participation as a way of life.  Visit our website sjsww.org or call to schedule a tour soon.  Our eighth graders get accepted into the Catholic High Schools of their choice, like 2013 Alumni, Cody Hattoy featured in The Prout School’s Open House advertisement.
