Catholic Schools Week

Visitation had a blast celebrating Catholic Schools Week. The week was packed with special visitors and fun activities. 

On Tuesday, we had career day. Local volunteers came to the school to share what their career is and how faith impacts their everyday at work. Special thanks to Mara Gordon (dental hygienist), The Bee Man, and Wildlife Man for sharing with us your career.

On Wednesday, we had bring a special guest to lunch day. Students brought their parents, grandparents, and/or siblings to join them for lunch. A few 1st graders special guest was, ME :) 

On Thursday, Mrs. Doering and Ms. Bowen organized a minute to win it activities for grades K-8. Each game the students had one minute to complete the activity using household items. A couple of the games first graders played was junk in your trunk and keep the balloon in the air. Staff played games, too.

On Friday, each staff member had a classroom activity for the kids. The week prior, students chose their top 3 choices of activities to do. Some of them included, tissue paper art, magic tricks, planting, twister, paper bag puppets, board games, gooey science, and DANCE in my classroom. I brought in XBOX kinect and projected the game on a big screen. Students had a lot of fun dancing and competing against each other for the best dance. Only a couple of first grade students chose to do dance and they were sad when they found out the Xbox was in their classroom. For the last 10 minutes of the day I let those that didn't choose the class try it out. They had a lot of fun!
