3rd Grade Autobiography Reports

St. Mary’s 3rd grade classes presented their autobiography reports recently. Some historical figures represented were Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, Annie Oakley, Casey Jones and Barack Obama to name a few. They did a terrific job dressing up and portraying their subject.

Pre-k learns a lesson on making Stone Soup

Mrs. Thompson’s pre-K class is studying the letter Ss this week and read the story Stone Soup. Just like in the story, each child brought in one item to contribute to the soup (carrot, potato, beans etc). One by one, they put the soup together, sharing all the ingredients that they had. At the end, they learned that together is better because stones in soup alone do not taste very good!
