St. Joseph's School Notes

Preschool

Students studied the letter "E." Students are also doing Halloween activities. On Friday, they took a community service field trip to Seminary Home.

Grade 1

First-graders will join second-graders for a multi-week unit on plants and seeds. They will be observing, journaling, sorting and classifying seeds and leaves. In math, they continue building knowledge of partners and studying numbers 8, 9 and 10.

Grade 2

Second-graders will begin their plant unit with the first-grade class. They will carry this topic over to language arts where they will read about "nature spies" and focus on details. They prepared for Halloween with a writing project about "wild things."

Music

Students learned dynamics (the louds and softs in music) with two Italian words piano and forte.
