Singing for the Happy Club

Yesterday the first grade students from St. Columbkille Catholic School sang and read for the Senior Happy Club. They opened with this first grade favorite:

First grade has been studying our fifty states. They educated everyone about each of the states.

One of the students learned God Bless America on the piano so he could accompany the group.

It was a great event!

A 50 States Party

A postcard mailed from each of the 50 States has been received by the First Grade students at St. Columbkille Catholic School. That meant that they got to have a 50 States Party today.

Each student could wear items from a states. Then they were asked if they could name the capital of that state. Each state could count once in their points and they would also receive one point for every correct capital.

The students colored in their map

 for every state represented.

Then each class calculated their scores.

Students had also brought

treats representing states....

 ... which they got to enjoy while watching

 a movie about the states.

It was a fun activity on Mardi Gras!
