Happy 100th Day of School!

To celebrate being in school together for 100 days, First Grade engaged in many fun activities...

Making a 100 Cup Structure

How many Fruit Loops can you string in 100 seconds?

Stack 100 cubes in 100 seconds

Shake It - How many hidden words can you find in the container in 100 seconds?

How many cubes can you toss into the bucket in 100 seconds?

We also made hats with 100 items and self-portraits of what will look like and do when we are 100 years old!

What a fun day all around!

Congrats to Our Spelling Bee Champs!

Cooper and Nick won the First Grade class spelling bee and went on to compete in the 1st - 3rd grade spelling bee, which Nick won!

Sound Needs Vibration AND Air

In our science experiments last week, we discovered that vibrations cause the air around objects to vibrate.  When we struck a tuning fork, we felt the vibration.  When we held it to paper, it made the paper vibrate with its own sound!

The drum vibrated and moved the paper clips on top of it.

Good Vibrations

As part of our science unit on sound waves, the First Graders felt the vibrations of their vocal chords and experimented with blocking sound waves from their ears.

We Feel So Comfortable at St. Johns!

 St. John's students participate in Friday's Pajama Day!

"Sing New Songs of Praise to the Lord!"

St. Johns School prepares for ou Christmas Concert, led by music teacher, Mr. Mueller.

First Friday Faithfulness

At St. Johns, we devote the first Friday of every month to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Each class keeps a banner and picture of the Sacred Heart for an entire month, as a reminder of His love for us, and then we pass it to the next class.  Pictured:  Jett, Corbin, and Savannah process up the aisle in church to pass on the banner to Third Grade.
