Thank you to Detective Gebhart for coming in today and teaching up about how the police use fingerprinting to assist in their job. We appreciate that you brought our science topic of traits and connected it to real life. 

Today, Mrs. Berry and I challenged the third graders to make the tallest Christmas tree that they could with 100 cups. Students worked in teams to plan and build their trees. They did a wonderful job working together to get the job done. Here are their results!

Today, we got together with our prayer partners. We read them a book, had some apple snacks, polled the teachers, graphed our favorite apple treat, and made a fun craft. We cannot wait until we get together again. 

Thank you Father Rothan for visiting the thrid and fourth grade classes and teaching us about the history of Adoration and what we see happening at First Friday Mass.
