Farewell to Summer Picnic

St. Pius Catholic School celebrates the end of summer with a 
Farewell to Summer Picnic.  The entire school eats a free hot dog lunch on blankets and towels on the field.  This year, our 7th grade buddies joined us in our area for the picnic lunch.  After eating, all of the students interact and play games together.  This is a much loved activity by all students!

Comments:
1.      The Jog-a-thon is next Friday!  We still need parents to help with keeping track of laps on the field, if you can help, please send a note in your child’s folder.  In case of rain, the students will run for a shorter time in the gym.  All students will receive a FREE hot dog lunch for participating in the Jog-a-thon. Your child should return the pledge sheet on the day of the Jog-a-thon and we will return it that afternoon with the lap card attached!  Students can earn casual days and fun prized based on the money they turn in by October 12.  All money raised helps our school technology program.  Thanks for your support with this important fundraiser!
2.      We will move our desks and rest spots to a new place on the first of every month, so your child gets a new “view” and a new friend to sit by!
3.     We have been talking a lot about keeping our hands to ourselves this week.  At recess, many children are pushing, hitting, or punching on the field instead of using their words.  We have discussed in class games that are appropriate, and those that are not.  We also discussed talking to the child if we don’t like how they are playing, instead of pushing or hitting.  Please help by discussing this at home with your child, too!
Our first two classroom rules are:
1.   We listen to each other
2.   Hands are for helping, not hurting

Science Lab ~ Measuring animals

We used linking cubes to measure different animals.
We decided that the snake was the longest animal!


















7th Grade Buddies ~ Apple project

We met our 7th grade buddies for the first time today!
We made an apple project that they remember making when they were in Kindergarten!  
One 7th grader even said he still has his apple!
