TRANSCRIPT
March 2019 Lion’s Roar We started the month of March by inviting all our students to participate in Read Across America on March 1st. Students were encouraged to dress in a Dr. Seuss shirt and Read, Read, Read!!!
Our K5 students got into the spirit of things with green eggs & ham.
We caught 5th grader Benjamin Nuar reading on the roof ~ at his house, not at school ~
…and some of K5 kiddos were really engrossed in their books!
Students and teachers and
staff all look forward to Spring
Break. Lourdes Flowers in 3rd
grade got to go to Universal
Studios in Hollywood!!!
K3 & K4 all learned a lot on their Field
Trip to The Woodlands
Children’s Museum on March 25th (and
had a lot of fun too)!
8th Grader Antonio Bermudez (4th from the right in the top row) represented SMMCS very well in the 3rd Annual Priests vs Seminarians 3-Point Contest on March 23rd.
Our Art Teacher, Mrs. M’Liss Painter, invited our students to participate in an essay contest for a group that she belongs to.
8th grader Xiomara Salinas was awarded 1st place in the contest and spoke before the group on March 27th. She was awarded a $50 check and a certificate.
One of the most anticipated events each year is International Day. This year, we celebrated it on March 26th. Our Spanish teacher, Mrs. Carmen Rodriguez,
assigns each grade a country to research.
In 2019, we learned about: Belize (3rd Grade)
Mexico (K3) U.S.A. (K4)
Dominican Republic (4th Grade)
Nigeria (6th Grade) Uruguay (K5)
El Salvador (5th Grade)
Scotland (7th Grade) Vietnam (8th Grade)
Italy (2nd Grade)
Switzerland (1st Grade)
The students create posters,
plan displays and practice native
dances.
When International Day arrives, they share all of their new knowledge about the country with their fellow students, sometimes even dressing in their country’s
finery.
Each student is given a “passport,” and they receive a stamp in it from each country as they go from display to display.
We really wouldn’t be able to do it without the help of all of our terrific parents and grandparents!
