Welcome, New Friends!

First Grade participated in Read Across America in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday.

Sophie was the lucky winner of the hat this year!

Mr. Devon and Mr. Riley, from Gibault Catholic High School, are spending a few weeks helping out at St. Johns.  We are so happy to have them here!

Technology in Action!

Thanks to generous donors, First Grade has access to Chrome Books and iPads.  We have been using the iPads for the Accelerated Reader Program and the Chrome Books to publish English papers, play math games, and conduct research about our state's official bird, insect, tree, etc.

Catholic Schools Week

We took part in an all-school living rosary.

We took part in all sorts of fun and weird games in the Silly Olympics.

We made some art projects with 8th graders who took over the class for Teacher Appreciation Day.

We celebrated our 100th Day of School!

We dressed as our favorite saints.

We celebrated 100 straight days of good behavior with a "State Party".

Catholic Schools Week Begins!

Monday was a day dedicated to scholarship, with a visit to the Scholastic Book Fair and a Spelling Bee.

Caleb and Sophie made us proud as the First Grade representatives to the Spelling Bee.

Who Is Your Favorite Character?

Starting the New Year Off Right

Mrs. McKay does a traditional New Years blessing so that all who enter our door may be blessed in the coming year.

Catching Up

First Grade has been very busy these last few weeks...

We proudly recorded the Pledge of Allegiance for WIL radio!

We wrote and presented our first personal narratives.

St. Nick made a surprise early visit!

Our Elf on the Shelf, "Puzzles", came with St. Nick!

He sure has been mischievous! 

We wore our PJs to school...and got a little sleepy....

 

We sang our hearts out for Jesus at the Christmas Program.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
