In religion, 4th grade has studied John 3:16 and what it means to be grateful for the gifts God gives us. They took the time to draw and write down someone in their life for whom they are grateful. After Thursday Mass, as a class, 4th grade stayed in the chapel to offer up prayers for their person ...in a special prayer of Thanksgiving. They then asked so many wonderful questions about the different Holy objects they saw used in Mass.

First grade has been learning all about the patterns of the sun, moon, and stars! Our Firsties have made sundials to track the sun’s patterns, created models of the moon’s phases, explored stars and constellations, and learned about UV rays. They even made magic bead bracelets to help detect UV... rays! Using the scientific inquiry process, students tested heat, light, and sunlight to see when their beads changed color. They were amazed to see the beads change in sunlight and learned that UV rays are present even when we cannot see them. They are also exploring how their shadows change throughout the day based on the sun’s position and making connections between sunlight, shadows, and UV rays. What a bright and exciting STEM unit! Up next, designing playgrounds to protect students from UV rays.
