Fun... Working Together!

We began our week with the flag pledge and prayer. Then the instruction was turned over to Ms. Faye Grittner (Eva's Grandma) and her partner Chuckie Nye. These two volunteers came to teach and guide the students to make stamped Christmas cards. They had 6 different designs so students could rotate around to different work stations. Faye and Chuckie brought all the materials and supplies. I was even able to make four cards. It is exciting to see plain paper become transformed into an attractive holiday message. These handmade masterpieces will be sold at the OLL Christmas Bazaar on the weekend of Nov. 11-12. Thanks Girls... for your good work on our behalf. This was a fun start to our week.

6th graders in math started reading together p. 40. We did not get to an assignment today.

Geography 7 students are starting to design their Amazon Rainforest travel brochures. This is an opportunity to show what they know... and invite others to come to the rainforest.

Looking ahead: This is a four-day school week. Tuesday 8th graders will present their Veterans Day poems and essays in class. On Thursday, Mrs. Marita's 7th graders and 8th graders will travel to my house for a day of baking and working on crafts for the bazaar. We still need some parent drivers. We will leave OLL at 9:15... and be back at 2:30. Students are encouraged to bring craft ideas... and supplies... and goodies to share with our chili lunch. Dress for working and playing outside. There is no school liturgy this week. Don't forget to participate in the all-school Mass on November 5th.

Thanks for your support to help make our school a fun and beneficial place to learn and grow in our faith.
