Our very last Project Cornerstone

This week we had our very last Project Cornerstone. We read a book about a little girl that had a hard time reading stuff and she didn't know that she had dyslexia. That means she sees numbers and letters differently. A little boy was making fun of her and teasing her. Her teacher helped her learn to read. He was an upstander and kind and caring adult. Project Cornerstone taught us to help others and be upstanders and to not dip in other people's buckets. We also should always tell a caring adult if we are sad or upset or need help. By: Zebra 

Then we played a game. We had to answer questions from the books we read in Project Cornerstone. We were in groups and at the very end we got these little baggies with a letter that tells us what's in there and why. We are sad that Project Cornerstone is over this year. We want more Project Cornerstone!!!! By: Cat

Prayer Buddies

The prayer buddies sent us letters! They answered our questions and wrote us back! Our prayer buddies are second graders in Denver, CO. We prayed for each other this year, especially before First Communion and Reconciliation. They sent us pictures of themselves and we taped them to our AN's. We are so excited that we have prayer buddies. By: Turtle

Shape project!

We learned about shapes. We learned their vertices, sides and angles. We also learned whether it was 2D shape or a 3D shape. I love shapes. We got to practice naming shapes and playing with them. We even made shape people that talked! We made them talk using chatterpix. Chatterpix is like an app that you slide across and create a mouth. Then when you record, a moth moves for you. You can watch some of our videos. We hope you like them! By: Shark

3D shapes

 

Here we were learning about 3D shapes. We took pictures of things in our classroom that were 3D shapes. We had to make these collages using an app called pic collage. We got to pick a background and label the shapes we found in the classroom. That was so much fun! My favorite part was being with my friends and finding the shapes. It was like a scavenger hunt. The backgrounds were cool. By: Raccoon and Red Fox 

 

Heritage Reports

We just finished everyone's Heritage Reports. You can look at the map above to see all the places we learned about. For our Heritage Reports we had to choose a famous person from our country and learn about them. We had to present them to our classmates and to also share a special surprise like a food or a picture album from our country too. I did my report on Athena the God because I am Greek.  I also brought my dancing friends from Greek Dance and we put on a show for my classmates and others. Finally, I shared delicious Greek food with them. My favorite was the pita. I think they all like learning about Greece. 

These are some pictures of some of the other things my classmates shared. Everyone did a great job on their reports. They were all so cool and fun to learn about. The food was absolutely delicious. I loved learning so many new things about our World and Heritage. Maybe you should do this project too and learn a little yourself and your country. By: Cat

Project Cornerstone Prayer Envelopes

This week in Project Cornerstone, we made prayer envelopes to tell God our worries and problems. We read the book, "Sebastian's Roller Skates" about a boy who is worried to talk and very shy. He learned to roller skate and he finally speaks up. We got to decorate our prayer envelopes with stickers and markers and crayons. We had to write our names on the back, so that we wouldn't lose ours. Miss Crowley sent them home in our Friday Folders. We put them under our pillow and then the next day our worries are gone and God has taken them away. We can't wait to use them for prayer!! By: Arctic Fox

Multiplication Wall

The multiplication problem wall was really fun to create. We each had to pick an item from our house and bring them to school and we glued them to our multiplication problem hands. We made a word problem using the hands and the item. We showed that groups of items is how you learn multiplication. We each had different items. It looks really cool in our classroom. By: Lion
