Greetings!
So many wonderful things to talk about and so little time! The Bruins Cheerleaders ended their season with their group and individual pictures taken in the gym...my are they lovely! We will be having a lock-in sometime in January and this will also be final uniform turn in.
The Drama Club gave two amazing performances of "A Christmas Carol" on Friday, December 17th. Our first performance was in the morning before the entire student body and staff. They were a little nervous but did very well. Our second and final performance was that evening before a packed audience. I am so proud of each and everyone of my drama students. They studied their parts and gave up their recess to practice our play.
A special thank you to all who helped after the play with taking down the set and delivering many items back to the theatre. It really meant so much!
The Library has been abuzz with reading, checking out books, crafts, origami, learning the Dewy system, Drama Club practice, and of course the excitement of Christmas.
Computer classes continue to learn the keyboard and typing skills at appropriate stages for each grade level.
- Kindergarten and 1st grade are much improved with mouse control, accessing Internet explorer, correctly turning on and off the computer, and finding and navigating sites.
- 2nd grade is mastering the home row and continues to find the other keys with ease. They are learning Microsoft Word and proper and safe Internet use.
- 3rd and 4th grade now understands the placement of the keyboard and are typing with a little more skill. They have come along way in Word. They have also learned the art of downloading items from the Internet. The 4th graders, in addition, are creating files and saving their work.
- 5th grade is working hard on computer vocabulary and research.
- Junior High have been working on projects including, state research, letters to governors, important figures in the history of computers, HTML and much more.
I continue to be pleasantly amazed at how wonderful the students are here at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School and thank the dear Lord above for being so blessed and lucky to be a staff member here.
Have A Very Safe, Blessed, Merry Christmas And A Wonderful New Year!
