                                                            Today we see that we—each of us—are Peter. We

poignancy of a spectacular climax to a truly great
story.

The scene opens in the same way that Peter’s rela-
tionship with Jesus began. He and the other disciples
are in their boat; they have fished all night long but

Academic Excellence in 2B: After many weeks of anxious anticipation, the big day finally arrived for our Sec-
ond Graders. On Saturday, April 27 we received Jesus for the first time in Holy Communion. We prepared for this big
day in many ways. We diligently studied the Holy Mass in Religion class and carefully made our own Communion
Books with pictures of each part of the Mass. Together with our parents, we participated in a special First Commun-
ion Retreat led by Mrs. Swavely and Mr. Kimmel. Most importantly, we learned the true meaning of Holy Communion:
Jesus’ Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity are truly present in the Eucharist. We are so excited that we can now share in
this Sacrament each Sunday when we go to Mass with our families!

        Although First Holy Communion has been the highlight of the school year, our Second Graders have been-
busy since September learning so many new things. In Mathematics we have mastered adding and subtracting three-
digit numbers and are now ready to begin exploring the concepts of multiplication and division. In Reading we have
been poring over a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts. Each story we read helps us to better understand the world
around us. Our writing skills continue to grow and impress our teachers. In addition to regularly writing in our journals,
we have composed a friendly letter, a couplet, a descriptive paragraph, and an informational paragraph.

        Our Second Graders get so excited for Science! In the fall, we loved participating in the afterschool STEM
Club. During Catholic Schools Week we took part in the school-wide STEM Challenge. Second graders worked to-
gether in small groups to build something using one hundred pieces of a given material. Recently, we have been
studying weather, clouds, and the water cycle. We eagerly performed an experiment in which we observed evapora-
tion and condensation occurring as a result of the sun warming up water left out on our classroom windowsill.

                                     *****TRANSFER GRANTS AVAILABLE****

       Second grade at Saint Jane School is a blast! Each day we learn something new and grow closer to Jesus
and one another. We would love for you to join us!
