Education Week!

Today we kicked off Education Week with an action packed day of learning! We celebrated with our school's Education Week Liturgy and participated in a school wide Math Problem.

Remember to check our St. Cecilia Website for all school wide information and important dates.

During Math today, we tackled our School Wide Math Problem.

How many toy cars are there in this image?   The students were put in small groupings and asked to come up with a strategy to count the cars and provide an answer to the problem.

During our school Open House, on Wednesday morning from 8:00-9:00 am, all of our solutions to the problem will be on display.  Ask your child about their strategy.  Each class in the whole school answered the same question!  Be sure to check out how some of the other grades answered the Car Caravan Math Problem.

Many students in grade 3, chose items and found the relationship between those items and the number of cars that the object covered.  Others split the circle of cars into equal sections and       counted one section and then multiplied to find the total.

In other news, the students have been working very hard on their Georgia O'Keeffe inspired flower art.  Their art will be on display during Open House inside of the school.  Each painting will have a QR Code attached which will link to a 'Path to Joy' prayer or poem written by each student.   Be sure to bring your personal device loaded with a QR Code Scanner:).
