Mrs. Crystal and Miss Ellie's preschoolers had a busy and fun week! We were still learning about pumpkins. We did a lot of pumpkin math by counting lines on pumpkins and measuring pumpkins. We enjoyed a lot of time outside with the beautiful weather that God has given us this week as well! Some of our friends have learned some new gross motor skills! we have a couple that have or have almost mastered going across monkey bars, and others are going upside down or flipping over on the trapeze bar! We had bring something that started with letter H for show and tell and we had a lot of similar items this week so we went up in groups to see what was similar and then the last group what was different. Each child still told us about theirs. We ended our week with Grandparents day and the kids were so excited because that was the first no nap day :) They all had so much fun!
Our kindergarteners celebrated 50 days of school!
We love our grandparents! Thank you all who were able to celebrate with us today.
As we learn about layers of the Earth and fossils, we made our own sedimentary rocks with sand art in 4th grade.

Our kindergarten and 8th grade buddies had so much fun at the pumpkin patch today!
In light of this being National School Lunch Week, we wanted to give a shout-out to our amazing cafeteria crew (of only two)! These ladies work hard at making our school lunches delicious and healthy. Their behind-the-scenes work and dedication do not go unnoticed!! We are blessed to have them at our school. Thanks for all you do, Kathy and Amy!!!
Mrs Crystals preschool class and Mrs O'Neals 4th grade buddies went on a fall walk to Columbus Road Church and back. The 4th graders helped the preschoolers make some beautiful fall collages along the way.
Our preschool classes had so much fun learning about pumpkins today from Theresa Roegge from Mill Creek! She brought a pumpkin and guard for each child to pick out as well! The kids loved being a part of the interactive processes of growing a pumpkin! Thank you to Theresa for visiting St. Dominic's and doing such a great job with our wonderful preschoolers this week!

The Mary Ridder Cherny Fund, through the Quincy Community Foundation Serving West Central Illinois and Northeast Missouri, provided funding for a classroom set of Resonator Bells. The color coded bells simplify reading music notation, assuring that all students can be successful making beautiful music together.
Mrs. Crystal and Ms. Ellie's preschools have been busy learning about and tasting apples this week! They have enjoyed all of Gods creation with nature. We have found a chrysalis and a green tomato grub that we are helping burrow and learned about how it changes and grows into a Moth. We have had fun playing, painting, retelling stories, it was a fun week in pre-K!
Our K-8 students attended the Area-Wide Mass with our Bishop at QND today! How beautiful it is to see so many from our Catholic community together under one roof celebrating the Holy Eucharist with our Bishop, area priests, and deacons! What a blessing for us all!!
Thank you to Sew Essentials for teaching 4th graders to sew and bringing them kits from Kiwanis.
Pre K got to learn a bit about how to use Hallow. I think learning it with their 4th grade buddies made it that much more fun!
You can explore too by going to Hallow.com or download it from the App Store. Your student should have gotten a paper sent home with their log in information. 😊
7th and 8th grade working hard on decorating cups for their robots in STEM!
