Two Weeks Worth Update

-

The Middle School celebrated their grades feast day of The North American Martyrs on the 26th with a few activities 




Thanks to Sr. Marie Vianney, we were able to make some Tepee Cupcakes




which turned out to be fun for all ages 




The Junior High, especially, were grateful to be able to decorate with the younger students 





And they made some very creative tepees 





Here's the School Choir working on voice and breathing techniques this week with Sister





And with our different tone ranges, St. Joseph's Graduate, David, volunteers to help the older boys become more confident with their voices to learn tenor and bass




All classes are still running smoothly and...



We still have some smiling students every now and then 



Ms. Isabeau has been a great helper taking some one-on-one time with our students
 

"Lightning"
(More commonly known as "Bump") has become the students favorite game these last two weeks





Our second grader wanted so much to make a pile of leaves to jump into. Sadly, there weren't enough.




Some mornings we've been blessed with beautiful skies




The Middleville Sisters came in to visit on the 28th and joined in our trip to visit our senior, Nicholas, at his Civil War reenactment. 





Decked out in the traditional garb of the time



Performed some drills while having the Sargent explain how soldiers at that time loaded their guns... quite a process. 





We even got a history lesson on the different types of flags the Confederates had... learning that the government wouldn't give them one and told them to make their own battle flags instead. 


That resulted in each individual war party pretty much making their own flags. There were over 35 of them recovered.



Sunday we had our "Young at Heart" group gathering. We ended up playing cards due to the rainy weather



We taught them how to play "Golf" 





Monday has become bread making day. It's been handy to make bread instead of buying it. 


This was fun surpise bug that Sister almost put her hand on. It's called a House Centipede but in actuality it only has 15 pairs of legs. 
Eww...


A new project has taken place in the classroom... which fast food burger is real and how long does it take to mold... 


Archery practices have started and the students are determined to do well



Sister in choir with the students tried some different activities




Students also had fun setting up the new blue screen for picture day 


And, of course, just had to test it out!



Just to get an idea of how it works...



Friday was our field trip to Debuck's Farm




With both the students and our parish homeschool families



Some of the attractions included the 
Rat Races 




Trike Track




Country Hoopin'




Giant Slides 




Bubble Station




They made gigantic bubbles




Pull Station




Sand Diggers 





Tractor Slide 




Lavender Field from the pleasant wagon ride




Gaga Ball and many more...



Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their time




We finished off Friday by celebrating Fr. Francisco's feast day and took a trip to a nearby lake and met Brenda the duck.




Saturday was our monthly confraternity meeting... 

And that about sums up these last two weeks! Have a blessed one!

  Fr. Francisco's birthday surprise  Scuba Steve looks a bit different today This was a well kept secret Sr Maria Magdalena's class helped prepare the shark ice cream sandwiches The rest of the week was normal classes Phelipe makes an appearance Mr. Malik is teaching personal finance to the high school class While the high school has math the rest of the school does science together  Me asking Blessed Mother for help.  This was a Mary Poppins cabinet!  Trying to move into the old convent of the school had a few challenges.  Tino came to the rescue.  Actually his owner Kisa, a newer parishioner spent about 3 hours helping us clean out and organize the kitchen. Tino was an added bonus and offered much needed stress relief.  Sister's face says it all. Another cabinet to clean out, really? Saturday we started cleaning out the science cabinet. We needed to find supplies for an upcoming class. Why do children love these things? I asked them to remo...

Francisco and the Sisters  Ohio beat Michigan... so Bo got a makeover O-H-I-O Last week of filming consisted of a ton of makeup and glitter Practicing lines on the students Training in the newbies  Sister getting Jacob Marley ready  Filming with 3rd graders is fun until they end up knocking down the curtain even after you kindly reminded them to be careful swinging the bag 13 times! Besides filming this last week, we had lunch at the Wayne Fire Sta...
