Catholic Schools Week


     This week we celebrated Catholic School's Week across the country and world. On Sunday, we celebrated the parish by wearing our uniforms to Mass and processing up the aisle with our grade banners. On Monday, it was Teacher Appreciation Day. The teachers got lots of warm gestures from students. Then on Tuesday, it was Student Appreciation Day. All the students go a treat at lunch and no homework. We had an ice cream social with the 5th graders at the end of the day. Community Appreciation Day was Wednesday. 4th grade wrote letters to the helpers at Maryville, the center for memory care and a home for elder people.  Unfortunately on Faith Appreciation Day, our 4th grade Mass was canceled for the 2nd time in a row due to winter weather! Finally it was Parent Appreciation Day on Friday. We want to always be thankful and loving to our parents for sending us to the Madeleine School. I think Catholic Schools Week was SO amazing!

     On Wednesday, the 1st, we studied the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are Jesus' teachings to live by. An example is: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. These are good teachings to know. On Thursday, Mrs. Ullman came in to talk to us the 3rd rule of bucket filing. The 3rd rule is using your lid. That means if someone says something mean to you, you should try to defend yourself. Remember, use your lid!  Also on Thursday, the 4th grade did some math with money (fake)! The coins were pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Next we did 3 math problems making change with coins. What a fun way to do math! Our book clubs continued as well.
