Oobleck Fun!

 

   The sixth Grade invited third grade

 to their classroom on Earth day. The

 sixth grade students, along with

 Mrs. Lehmeier, read a story to us from

 the book Oobleck by Dr. Seuss; one of

 the first books ever written by him.

 The king of the village wishes for

 something other than normal weather.

 His wish is granted and the town very

 suddenly becomes covered in

 Oobleck-a gooey and slimy substance

 that is taking over their town. In the end,

 the King wishes for his town to be

 normal once again and apologizes for

 his greediness and vows to be happy

with the things he has.
     After the story, the sixth grade partnered with a third grade and helped them make their own Oobleck. The

students had a great time and the third grade left with a souvenir of their very own Oobleck. Thanks Sixth Grade!
 

  Third Grade Mass

 

   The 3rd grade students took part in all

 aspects of the mass while the upper grades

 were on a field trip. Each student present on

 April 9th performed an important role in the

 celebration of the mass. Tommy, Sarah W and

 Luke were altar servers, while Julia, Sarah R

 and Annie were cantors. Nora read the 1st

 reading and Alaina, Peyton, Morgan and Joey

 read the petitions. Melina, Meghan and Aletta

 brought up the gifts. The altar was adorned

 with a lovely fountain and beautiful Easter

 flowers which added to the enjoyment of the

 mass!

 

 

  Valentine's Day

 

     Third grade shared the love with

  fun toss games and showed their

  creativity with a heart bottle sand

  art craft. The healthy and delicious

  treats of heart shaped finger

  sandwiches, fresh fruit with pink cool

  whip, and home made Chex mix were a

  big hit. They passed out Valentine

  cards and treats and Meghan M. even

  made fudge for the whole class and

  parent room parents. Sweet! 

 

 

 

 
  


 

 Reading Together is Fun

 

     Ready-K, Third Grade, and Fifth

  Grade spent time during Catholic

  Schools Week reading together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 Catholic Schools Week - Dennis Bowman Visits

 

     KDKA's Dennis Bowman visited

 St. Ursula School for Catholic

 Schools Week.

 

    You can watch the KDKA News

    video here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


     First, Second and Third grades visited

 the National Aviary on Nov. 23. Each class

 had an instructional class. Third grade has

 been studying owls so they provided much

 of their own knowledge to the instructor

 who was very impressed with the students.

    They met Barkly, a screech owl and a 

 much larger 3 pound eagle owl, and

 dissected owl pellets. A graph helped them

 determine the animals the owls had preyed

 upon. They saw a presentation on the

 wetlands birds and some students were

 able to feed the birds mealworms and

 grapes right out of their hands! Some

 students fed nectar to the colorful

 lorikeets. The students saw the penguin

 encounter, crawled through the tunnels for a close look and were able to observe their feeding time. Many amazing

 penguin facts were shared by the instructor. We ate lunch, toured the rest of the rooms and by the end were

 scratching our heads wondering what a two-toed sloth was doing in the National Aviary...

 

Science is fun!

   

     The eighth grade students work with the

    students from third grade as they dissect

    owl pellets .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2009 Halloween Parades & Parties  

     The third grade had a great time at
   their annual Halloween party. The day
   started with the annual Halloween parade
   that makes its way around the

   neighborhood that is adjacent to the

   school. Following the parade, the kids

   returned to their classrooms for lots of

   fun, games and treats. Thank you to all

   of the parents who organized the party

   and helped in any way.
