While we didn't win, we had a great time creating this fun photo display. Each child took a picture to look as if they were floating away......very cute!

We Are the Light of the World!
Recently we participated in a door display contest for Catholic Schools Week. Here is what we created:
Angry Verbs!
In
language arts, the students have been learning about sentence structure and
syntax since day 1! We began with the simple constructs of a sentence (period, capitalization),
learned what parts a sentence has, and what a noun is and what part it plays in
a sentence. This brought us to verbs! Children can only sit and listen for so
long so I try to find fun ways to use the skills being taught. For verbs I
thought of an obvious favorite.....Angry Birds, or Angry Verbs if you attend 2nd
grade at St Agnes. The purpose of this activity was to get the kids to create
sentences using all types of verbs, and identify the verb in the sentence. Once
this was completed they were given an Angry Bird coloring page, allowed to
color it, and finally write their sentence on the bird. Once this flock of
verbs was finished we created an Angry Bird game board to attach all our “Angry
Verbs” to. Students love the display and don’t even notice that they are
identifying verbs! Below are links for the Angry Bird coloring pages.
