SAS STREAM Night

Our engineers, scientists, artists, mathematicians, and architects are gearing up for our first STREAM Night which will be held on Tuesday, March 6th from 5:30pm - 7pm in the school gym. Grades Pre-K3 through 8th grade will showcase their STREAM projects. There will also be seven hands-on STREAM activities, from concocting your own slime recipe to using mini lasers to hit the target. We will also be painting rocks for our new SAS ROCKS rock garden. Join us for a fun, educational night! 

Homework

Weekly IXL and Latin are due when we return!

All in All

This was too sweet not to share!

Researching, Writing, and Drilling, oh my!

It's always fun to get out of the classroom! This morning we spent time in the Innovation Lab, computer lab, and hallway working on some projects.

We started researching and writing about our non-fiction topics for our upcoming book.

At the same we took turns working on our Dangerous Weather Venn Diagram (it's hanging in the hallway, if you have a chance to come by and see it) and our STREAM project. We did some problem solving, and then we put on our safety glasses and got out the power drill to start building our wall. Some of us even got a little dirty creating the "land." There's still a lot of work to do, but it's coming along as planned!

Lenten Rice Bowls

Rice Bowls will be sent home today. The money you collect with go directly to Catholic Relief Services (CRS). I remember collecting money for CRS using the rice bowls when I was a student at St. Ann. It's a fond and special memory knowing we were helping so many people in need, just as Jesus taught us.

Every penny counts, so when you give up that candy bar, think about putting the money you would have used in the rice bowl.

Always have GRACE in your actions and words.

3G Book

We will publish an original book through StudentTreasures. Our book will be about our favorite non-fiction topics, from Tim Tebow to microscopic creatures. We’ve been working on the writing process, so now is your time to shine and demonstrate what fabulous writers you are.

For more information, visit their website:

We will also have a guest speaker, Kyle McElhaney, who is the author of the children series, Founders Force. He will talk you about his writing process and what inspires him to write and illustrate.

**** Regardless of whether you order it or not, your parents must sign the release for so that we can publish your writing and illustrations. 

**** There will only be ONE printing of this book, so if you don’t order it now, you won’t be able to order it later.

We will purchase a copy to donate to the school library for everyone to enjoy!

Homework

Be diligent in your studies!
Handwriting - due tomorrow.

IXL and Latin are due Monday.

Dangerous Weather

Since our speaker wasn't able to visit us today, we decided to experiment with some dangerous weather! We made a hurricane in a bottle and created a blizzard from a diaper! Diapers are absorbent because of the filling -- polymer sodium polyacrylate. When you add water, you get...SNOW!
