Edition 2011, #9- First grade Bible stories

First grade Bible stories
By Mr. Bill

Last week, Sister Mary and her first grade class hosted parents and students for a Bible stories performance. The stories were done as a part of Catholic Schools Week at St. Ethelreda School. Each 1st grader got up in front of the audience and told a Bible story.

Sister Mary was very happy with the participation as "more than 15 parents were here." The students enjoyed the performance as well.

Here is each student and the story that he or she performed:
  • Damien - Jonah
  • Jeremiah - Noah
  • Kelli - Jesus in the marketplace
  • Jordan - God also loved the world
  • Davon - Joseph
  • Mikayla - Adam & Eve
  • Sirr - The blind man
  • Christopher - Jonah & the whale
  • Doria - Love your neighbors
  • Eriana - 10 girls
  • Datiara - The lost sheep
  • Terrance - David & Goliath
  • Imonie - Jesus & the wise man
  • Alexya - The tax collector
  • Joslyn - God made everything
I asked the 1st grade students whether 1st grade was the best class in all of St. Ethelreda School. They all replied, "Yes!" These students are a fun and enthusiastic group.

Edition 2011, #8 - 7th grade science

By Rayan B

Last week, Ms. Finn, the science teacher, and the 7th grade class did a project on “Electric Circuits.” The awesome idea of this project was to try and see if you could light up a light bulb with a wire and battery. Many of the projects succeeded and many of them did not. But no worries it was still an outstanding project.

I asked two of the students what they thought about the project and what they have learned... here is what they said.

Chanel B: “This project is great, it has taught me how to light a bulb using a wire and battery.”

Curtis H: “This project is very interesting. It has taught me that there are two different circuits. One of them are complete circuits, which is where all the wires are connected. The second is an incomplete circuit, which is where one wire is disconnected.”
