Snowflake art
We learned about Wilson Bentley. He took the first-ever photographs of snowflakes in 1885. Bentley discovered no two snowflakes are identical. People called him "Snowflake" Bentley. We watched a short video about him, read the book "Snowflake Bentley" and then of course we needed to make snowflakes. Our art was inspired by him and we did it using a fun roll-a-design method.

keeping our souls clean-like a penny
We cleaned dirty pennies with lemon juice and salt. Margaret brought in baby food jars all ready to go. We talked how our souls become dirty with sin. We each cleaned a dirty penny and saw how it became more shiny. This is what Reconciliation/Confession does for our souls, it cleans them of sin!

pig lung
Laura Williams, a respiratory therapist from Sanford, came over to teach the kids about our lungs and show them a real pig lung! The students learned a little about asthma and breathed through straws to feel how breathing is for someone with asthma. Then, if they wanted to, they could put on gloves and squeeze the ambu and inflate the lungs.
Number 1 thing we learned about Readers' Theater: TALK LOUD! We can't hear voices very well.
Number 2 thing we learned: Follow along!! We will get better at that!
Number 3 thing we learned: Don't cover your face with the paper and make sure to turn your face to the camera. Ha!

25 Manners Needs
I came across this article and thought it had some great ideas.
Some good thoughts to help your children master these simple rules of etiquette:
1. When asking for something, say "Please."
2. When receiving something, say "Thank you."
3. Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency. They will notice you and respond when they are finished talking.
4. If you do need to get somebody's attention right away, the phrase "excuse me" is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation.
5.When you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first. It can save you from many hours of grief later.
6. The world is not interested in what you dislike. Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults.
7. Do not comment on other people's physical characteristics unless, of course, it's to compliment them, which is always welcome.
8. When people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are.
9. When you have spent time at your friend's house, remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had.
10. Knock on closed doors, and wait to see if there's a response before entering.
11. When you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling.
12. Be appreciative and say "thank you" for any gift you receive. In the age of e-mail, social media, and texts a handwritten thank-you note can have a powerful effect.
13. Never use foul language in front of adult.(Mrs. Dallmann says never use them-period.) Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant.
14. Don't call people mean names.
15. Do not make fun of anyone for any reason. Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel.
16. Even if a play or an assembly is boring, sit through it quietly and pretend that you are interested. The performers and presenters are doing their best.
17. If you bump into somebody, immediately say "excuse me".
18. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don't pick your nose in public.
19. As you walk through a door, look to see if you can hold it open for someone else.
20. If you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor working on something, ask if you can help. If they say "yes", do so--you may learn something new.
21. When an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling and with a smile.
22. When someone helps you, say 'thank you'. That person will likely want to help you again. This is especially true of teachers.
23. Use eating utensils properly. If you are unsure how to do so, ask your parents to teach you or watch what adults do.
24. Keep a napkin on your lap; use it to wipe your mouth when necessary.
25. Don't reach for things at the table; ask to have them passed.
