On Monday, students participated in a scavenger hunt around the school. As a class, they had to read clues to find a special part of a snack hidden in the school. Once we visited all the locations of the hidden snacks, students had a healthy fun snack. We took our snacks to the lunch room and played games together as a school.
On Tuesday, students had the opportunity to dress up as a famous person who embodies STEM and knowledge of service. We had some awesome dressed up students. They shared with their classes who they were dressed as and how they represent STEM and knowledge of service.
On Wednesday, we had special friends lunch day. This is always one of my favorite days because parents, grandparents, and special friends come to our school to share a special meal together. The students always love spending their lunch time with their families and they love when they join them on the playground.
On Thursday, we had cultural day. This was brought back from last year by popular demand. Visitation has so much diversity and it is neat for the students to be able to share their culture with others. Students from my class brought in a few of their favorite snacks and dishes from their culture to share with the rest of the class. We had so many amazing snacks and they ended up lasting us for days.
On Friday, we had an all school mass and honored the students for all their hard work at the end of the day with a "Minute to Win It" game. It was supposed to be staff vs. students but this year we let the kids play all the games. It was very tempting for me....I wanted to play the games so bad! The students had so much fun playing these games and the older students were very supportive to the little ones on helping them play the games.
During the week, we had an ongoing project as a school for our parents. They are the reason we go to Visitation and we wanted to thank them during Catholic Schools Week for all that they do to support our Catholic education. We made personalized letters to our parents. We thanked them for sending us to Visitation Catholic STEM Academy and shared some things we love about our school and education. As a fun art project, the whole school made decorative plates for our parents. We decorated the plates with sharpies and let them bake in the oven for 30 minutes to set the marker on them. They will make a lovely display of our Catholic faith in our homes. Thank you parents for all you do for your children!
What a great week!
