Happy Easter from all of us at St. Joseph Community School🐰✝️💐


Today first grade re-enacted and discussed Holy Thursday and the Last Supper✝️


Mrs. Schulz had another great Ag lesson for our middle school students this week.🌽🌾
On Tuesday students learned about the pH Scale and determining the pH of our school garden. Then students used the information to decide what vegetables can we grow and what vegetables will they most likely eat!

Today we started our morning reflecting on the Way of The Cross as a whole school. ✝️
By praying and reflecting on the Stations of the Cross it lets us think of more than how Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins. The stations of the Cross is a form of imaginative prayer, and allows us to walk with Jesus on this journey for us!

The preschoolers have been investigating different ways to make balls move. After reading The Three Billy Goats Gruff (where the river carries away the troll) the preschoolers were wondering if water can make balls move. So they did an investigation! Everyone was able to choose a ball to try and they noticed the water was able to move some balls, but not others. They thought some balls were too heavy for the water to move and some were too spiky or had lines going around it. The investigation continued into center time as well!
