LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING AT
SACRED HEART SCHOOL!
During Holy Week, students were asked to think about how to "set the week apart" for God. They thought about how they spend
their time in a typical week, and then something different they could do each day during Holy Week to spend more time with God.
E-Learning may bring on challenges but it's also allowed
our creativity to grow outside of the classroom!
5th graders were busy learning all about conversions!
They took some of their favorite recipes and needed
to convert into another form of measurement. For
example cups into pints or tablespoons into teaspoons.
Then off they went to baking and cooking their
creations! Check out what cooks / bakers we have in
the fifth grade!
Peace be with you all and stay safe.
