It’s October! In kindergarten, that means selling tasty apple treats to the other classrooms that visit the kindergarten apple stand. All proceeds from the stand will be used to purchase toys and other small items to make Jared Boxes for pediatric patients at MercyOne in New Hampton. Follow the link to check out their commercial!

As we are wrapping up our final week of library, we completed our Stick Together poster and casted our final vote on our St. Joseph Community School favorite Goldfinch Award book. The Stick Together posted was created as a collaborative project when students had library class and computer science classes this semester. The students had a blank page when we started the end of January and had a lot of fun guessing what they thought it may turn out to be. Each color of sticker corresponds to a letter. There are over 7,000 stickers on this poster that all of our students had a hand in creating together. Our Goldfinch Award winner came down to 2 votes, but our Kindergarten through 4th grade students decided that Nobody Hugs a Cactus was their favorite overall!
