SACRED HEART SCHOOL LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING AT SACRED HEART SCHOOL! Kindergarten learned about John Chapman and why people While many of the 8th graders were shadowing at Loyola called him Johnny Appleseed. We realized that we had been to a Academy last week, Emmit in 8th grade helped out with the lot of the same States that Johnny traveled to! We also learned younger grades! He did such a great job reading some of his what a Tall Tale is and how that happens. We made a list of favorite childhood books to JK during library. things we thought Johnny might have really accomplished and which parts were just a story. Then we made hats (even though we don't think he really wore a pot on his head!) Our pre-school students love to be read to! More fun in preschool!
