We learned about all of the great industry that was booming during this time period. To add a little extra fun (and friendly competition) to the material, I created an assembly line simulation for the kids. We made "hamburgers" in our factory. Each company had to decide upon a name and assign each worker a role. There were roles for plates, bottom bun, mustard, patty, ketchup, lettuce, and top bun. The kids timed me to determine how long it would take for one person to do all the jobs. We used this number to compare their times to make enough for the entire class using the assembly line method. Needless to say, they save a lot of time by using an assembly line. They learned about the pros and cons of this method and had a lot of fun doing so! The end product was delicious too!<br />

We were super pumped for the pep assembly this afternoon! We landed a 2nd place finish in the Penny Blitz for Haiti! Nice job, Jungle Crew! As a school, we raised over $1800 to send to our sister parish in Dupiti. Our generous donations allow for those children to buy clothes/shoes and get an education. What a wonderful gift.</div>

Today's theme was Team Day. Even after last night's loss, I was happy to see many Hoosier fans sporting their cream and crimson! Our day started with Penny Blitz. We were heavily targeted, but I am still confident we may come out on top. We will find out at tomorrow's pep assembly. Fingers crossed!</div>

To go along with the team theme, we had a team challenge in the classroom today. The challenge was to work together to build a pyramid of Solo cups using only string and a rubber band. When they were finished, each team had to work together to make a list of 4 key points they learned about how to work successfully in groups. It was a fun activity and great learning experience.</div>

The day started off with our annual Muffins with Mom/Donuts with Dad breakfast this morning. Thanks to all who could attend! It is so nice to see so many parents take part in our school functions.<br />
<br />
We donned our pajamas for the day. To go with today's theme/verse, the Jungle Crew brought pillows and flashlights for some special stamina time this afternoon. They munched on "book worms" and read for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
We completed a fun science lab on the Earth's crust today. We learned about 5 different features and made clay models. <br />
<br />
Check out some snapshots from today:<br />

We kicked off Catholic Schools Week today. Today's theme brought all of us together in our Holy Trinity purple. We celebrated mass with Precious Blood this morning. Grace did an awesome job reading, and Drew/Braelyn sang their hearts out in the choir. We had lunch with our mass buddies, too! It was a great first day of CSW. <br />

The highlight of our week was definitely our long-awaited Idiom Party with the 5th grade class. Mrs. Hanneman and I wanted to do something fun for Halloween, so we decided to make it a learning experience by having the students dress as a chosen idiom. The kids did not disappoint! Wow! I loved the effort and creativity. Check them out...<br />

We are busy learning all about area/perimeter, our state's geography, the mystery genre, prepositions, and more! We are also looking forward to a 3-day week next week before our school's Fall Break. <br />
<br />
In preparation of our first Indiana History chapter test, we spent some time reviewing by playing a competitive game of Jeopardy this week. The competition was stiff as the Quacky Historians, Holy Halloween Einsteins, The Cobras, and the Terrifying Tigers battled it out. After a "fierce" game, it was the Quacky Historians who came out victorious! <br />

We also had a surprise visit from our mass buddies, Mrs. Weinzapfel's kindergarteners. They learned all about Christopher Columbus and made us bookmarks with various facts about the explorer. They loved sharing their knowledge, and we loved the one-of-a-kind bookmarks. Thanks, mass buddies!</div>

Students, staff, parents, parishioners were all on the edge of their seats as the name of our new Catholic school was announced. The Holy Trinity Saints will be coming to a school near you in August of 2015! We are all so excited and blessed. Here are a few pics I snapped from mass and the reveal:<br />

I always like to spend a little time teaching about the tragic events but also reflecting upon and honoring the lives lost and the heroes made that day.<br />
<br />
This year I decided to have my students interview two people the evening before September 11. I wanted them to gain some background knowledge; but more importantly, I wanted them to recognize that we all remember exactly where we were or what we were doing that morning. It is a moment forever engraved in our memories.<br />
<br />
The kids' discussions about their interviews were awesome. They were so engaged in hearing what their peers had to report. We read an article together to give them some more information on the events before watching two videos this morning. I don't know anyone who doesn't tear up from listening to Alan Jackson's "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning," and my 9/10 year old students were just as moved as I was the first time I listened. We also watched a news clip about the World Trade Center Memorial's opening on the 10 year anniversary of the attacks.<br />

We wrapped up this morning's discussion with a moment of silence and prayer. It is moments like this when I am reminded of what a blessing it is to teach at a Catholic school. In a world that is often scary, we take comfort and trust that our God will protect us. <br />
<br />
Below are the two videos we watched this morning...<br />

Stations include:<br />
<ol>
<li>Inference</li>
<li>Sequence</li>
<li>Character Traits</li>
<li>ISTEP Prep</li>
<li>Cranium Crew (research)</li>
<li>Partner Read</li>
<li>Listening (books on CD)</li>
<li>English</li>
<li>Word Play</li>
<li>Vocabulary</li>
</ol>
The students have been hard at work during literacy stations this week. Check out some of the stations:<br />
