🐬 Grades 3 & 4 went outside this week to collect materials for the mini-shelters they're making in response to their novel study. The students are reading, "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell. Students will build their mini-shelters using only materials from outside, and write a letter in first person as the main character, Karana, does in the story.

Today is the feast of St. Joseph! Grade 3 went to the church & prayed the Litany of St. Joseph in honor of the feast day, & Mrs. Picone's St. Joseph Faith Family led us in the liturgy at school Mass.
St. Joseph was the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the foster-father of Jesus, & a carpenter. Through his work St. Joseph provided for the Holy Family & shared in the divine plan of salvation. He was a good & patient man. Even though he never speaks in the Bible, St. Joseph was a man of action. He always obeyed God even though he did not always understand. Through his love & care for Jesus & Mary, St. Joseph showed his love for God.
Feast Day: March 19
Symbol: Carpenter’s Tools
