Catholic Education Week

This week is the start of Catholic Education Week at St. Cecilia.  This afternoon, we had a liturgy in the gym and were introduced to the Syrian family that we helped during our Lenten Project.  Don't forget to drop by on Thursday morning (8 to 9 am) to check out what we have been up to in our class:)
In Science, we are working on creating a toy that uses three simple machines.  We created a success criteria together and broke up into our groups to discuss our toy.  Students were asked to sketch out their toy and write down the materials they will need to build it at school.  They are encouraged to use recycled materials like cereal boxes, plastic water bottles and paper towel/toilet paper holders. I can provide tape, glue (glue gun), string and fasteners! I can't wait to see the finished products.

In math we are exploring perimeter and used non-standard units of measurement to measure items in the classroom.
