Dear Parents,
Please keep the families of Our Lady of Mercy in your prayers. I am sure it must have been devastating to hear that your school will be closing.
Many thanks for all you do spreading the good news about our school! I am sure you received the give away tickets to give to anyone you know who is interested. Seats fill up quickly, so have your friends come to our Open House and bring current report cards, state results, and standardized tests.
Many thanks, Mrs. Petruccio

Look What is New at Saint Patrick School!

The Nursery class continues to work on letters (P week), numbers (rote counting as well as number recognition), patterns, and writing our names. This class continues to progress well. We have starting board games. Last week we played color/shape bingo. This week we are planning Candyland and Chutes and Ladders.

Pre-K students are continuing to explore numbers through the use of manipulatives and technology. We have also been playing fun January themed math games to practice our math skills!

The Kindergarten students listened to the story Feelings to Share by Todd Snow. We discussed the different parts of the story and gave examples of how the children shared in the book. The kindergartners then shared how they feel when they share something of theirs .

The first grade students are continuing to learn about related addition and subtraction facts and how they work together.

The second graders are continuing to learn about two-digit subtraction. They are learning several strategies to solve subtraction problems such as breaking apart numbers and regrouping. The students can now apply these strategies to word problems!

The third graders are learning about the human body in health. They are learning about several different organs such as the heart, bones, and muscles. Students are learning how all of the organs work together and how the human body grows.

The fourth graders are learning about equivalent fractions. They are also having fun learning about fun expressions in the English language known as idioms.

Saint Patrick Middle School

The fifth graders just finished up their chapter on dividing decimals. To practice the new concepts learned, students completed an Escape the Room. Thankfully, everyone broke out!

The sixth graders were very excited to share the first games they created in their Skin in the Game class. They got to play each others games and leave notes of the things they loved and what they thought could be done better. Each group will now go back and revise their games based on their classmates feedback.

In 7th grade social studies we are learning about the events and ideas that shaped the Articles of Confederation which laid the basis for the first national government of the United States.

The seventh grade are busy creating a scale drawing of their bedroom. They measured their bedrooms as well as the furniture. After determining a scale they calculated the new measurements
