Lenten Retreat

Last week our class buddied up with 6th grade for a small Lenten Retreat.  Students learned that pretzels actually have a prayerful origin!  Each student got to make a pretzel out of modeling clay and take it home as a reminder to pray. 

Students then went through the Stations of the Cross with their buddies in our beautiful shrine area.

After Stations of the Cross students returned to the classroom to have a snack of pretzels and juice with their buddies.  The students also talked with their buddies about what they're doing during Lent to grow closer to Jesus.  All of the students enjoyed their time together!

Channeling their inner Kobe:

Their "twins" were in different classes, so they just posed together. =)

Sound in Science

We've been learning about sound and hearing the past few weeks in Science with some fun, hands-on activities.  

Students experimented with how sound travels through hoses a couple of weeks ago:

This week students got to make their own instruments.  They made drums, pan flutes, guitars, and sound cups.

As students finished their instruments they created an impromptu parade around the classroom while playing their instruments.  It was a very fun day!
