Here's a recap of the division strategies we've introduced in class.

Make a Wish!

We had a wonderful start to our week! The Make a Wish Foundation came and surprised DJ, one of our third graders with a trip for his family to Disney World! The whole school was able to see him get his wish granted. Congratulations DJ!

 

Happy Presidents Day! Enjoy the day off!

Happy Valentine's Day! Reminder: No School Tomorrow!

Remember that tomorrow is a school holiday. In honor of President's Day, St. Ann's School will be closed on Monday. See you all on Tuesday!

Valentine's Day Party

We started our Friday with another visit from Miss Hoffman with Junior Achievement.

Then we had our awesome Valentine's Exchange!

You guys spoiled me so much! Thank you for all my yummy treats.

We played Valentine Bingo, had our classroom exchange, then were treated to some yummy cupcakes, fruit, and donuts! Thank you so much to our amazing parents who put this together for us! You're wonderful!

Tennis Assembly

We had a wonderful visitor this morning! Coach Valdez is the director of the Bush Tennis Center and was also one of my high school tennis coaches. He stopped by school to talk to the kids about tennis. He actively involved the students by allowing them to answer questions, play, and even learn a little bit about matches. We are so grateful he was able to come and raise awareness about this great sport. As a tennis coach at St. Ann's, I may be a little biased, but I sure hope to see some students take up the game after seeing it's great benefits. Thank you Luis for coming out!



 



Prayer Service, Junior Achievement, Counselor Corner, and Ash Wednesday

We had a great day today in 3rd Grade.

 

First, we had our "Bury the Alleluia" Prayer Service this morning. Each class created an "Alleluia" poster to bury for the Lent to signify the absence of the word during the season.

Then, we enjoyed a visit from Miss Hoffman, our Junior Achievement Teacher. She spoke with us today about communities and businesses and allowed us to set up our own town with our own businesses. We look forward to 5 more sessions with her.

Lastly, we enjoyed a visit from Mrs. Harrell for our monthly "Counselor Corner" visit. She spoke with us today about being Christian classmates and ways to avoid bullying, as well as learning the difference between tattling and reporting. The students did great with the activity and really enjoyed her lesson.

Don't forget! Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday! Please feel free to join us for Church at 8:30 a.m. Also, be sure to wear your Mass uniform. We will not go to Mass on Friday since we are going tomorrow. Have a great afternoon!

 

 

 

Student Appreciation Day!

We had a wonderful Student Appreciation Day on Friday! The kids looked great "dressed for success." They were treated to a donuts in the morning and then got to make pretzels with Ms. Pohl for a Lenten activity. We also created an "Alleluia" poster for our "Bury the Alleluia" Prayer service to take place on Tuesday in preparation for Ash Wednesday. We finished the day trying out the baked pretzels. The students left with a small treat bags to show our appreciation for all their hard work. In their treat bag they have a homework pass that they may use on any homework assignment. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
