Grandparents! Our Special Guests this Friday....

The girls are so excited to have their grandparents visit the lower school this Friday.  They have been working on an extra special bulletin board just for their grandparents!  We haven't been studying the Decades for nothing, so don't worry they will make sure everyone sees it.  As well, we'll give them a peek into the life of a student in 2017.  We've been playing some Sixties and Seventies music just to set the mood.

I know that you have received a ton of information from the school already, but just to be sure, we will see the girls' special guests at 12:45 in the LSAR this Friday.  At 1:15 they will proceed to either the classroom or Religion, and then they will flip at 1:45.  There will be plenty of volunteers to direct them to the correct place.  It will be a fun-filled day for all.  We are honored to have them with us!

Broadway at St. Cat's....Fourthies are the Stars

Next stop...Broadway!  Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory had everyone humming the songs and dancing like an Oompa loompa!  Didn't the girls do a fabulous job...whether you were a dancer or you had speaking lines...everyone was able to shine. The Seniors loved the play, and there wasn't a dry eye when the lower school sang  "I Saw a Ship a Sailin".  It seems like yesterday that the Seniors were Fourthies in my class...it does to them also!

Here are a couple of pictures of your Thespians!




Next stop Grandparents' Day!  Get ready! It's next Friday!


Meanwhile, Strings has a concert tonight at 7 at St. Chris.  Congratulations, Girls!  That shows a lot of hard work, and we are proud of you.

The girls are learning about Probability in Math.  It's a very cool unit.  They are making spinners and predicting the results in mathematical terms.....a lot of fun, but some great learning also.  This leads right into the next unit on designing an efficient kitchen...okay, no correlation...YET!  You can tell we need the updated version of this book because this unit is designed for a smaller kitchen, not the uber large ones of 2017!  Anyway, it is all about efficiency, so find your tape measure because your daughter will be needing it soon.  This is one thing that they can't Google!

We have also started learning the Northeastern States and Capitals.  The girls will learn the states by region, so we will slowly make our way across the continent.  By the time we are finished they will be able to correctly place them on the map and spell them correctly also.  The Fourthie Website has some great sites to help them, and I have posted one on my blog also.  Try them all and see which ones you like best!  We'll be playing some good old "Travel" in the classroom also!
