Hello! This is James Flanagan the new Literacy Instructor for our Immaculate Heart of Mary! This week the students did some brainstorming to get ready for our next big literary adventure.

PreK3 did like green eggs and ham! Everyone enjoyed Read Across America week.


2nd grade is searching for missing commas in sentences! We have had a great start to our fairy tale unit.



Third grade kicked off our Fairy Tale unit today by making crowns and "saving the princess" by writing sentences with conjunctions.

Green Eggs and Ham were a big hit in PK4!

Third grade had a great Read Across America Week! We read the works of Dr. Seuss, made parachutes for eggs, planted seeds, built towers, and learned new vocabulary!

The Vocabulary Parade was a great ending to Read Across America Week! All of the costumes were so creative and really showed their understanding of the word. Awesome work, first graders!

We had fun reading Dr. Seuss books! We graphed using One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and measured things around the room using feet from The Foot Book.





Today, Prek4- 4th grade had a Vocabulary Parade! They had so much fun learning new vocabulary words.

What an eventful week! We celebrated so many wonderful things and love being apart of this great school.

First graders are learning to count coins in math! They are demonstrating their understanding in math workstations by playing coin games, using their math journal, and counting using touch money.

First grade enjoyed Fat Tuesday by playing a game, "burying" our Alleluias, and eating king cake!

First grade has been celebrating Read Across America Week with many different activities involving Dr. Seuss books. It's been an awesome week!

Happy Fat Tuesday from PreK3!

Kindergarten loved green eggs and ham!






Today's Green Eggs and Ham celebration included our annual Egg Drop Challenge! Students worked together to formulate ideas to protect their egg. They did an awesome job!

Egg Drop was so much fun! Students worked to create a contraption to protect their egg from cracking when it was dropped. The students made great designs and worked so well as a team.






2nd graders spent time with non-fiction text this week! They searched for non-fiction text features. They also researched dinosaurs using non-fiction books and kid friendly websites.





Kindergarten had a fun week learning about President's day and using ten frames in math.




Third grade is having a roaring time at the dinosaur show!
