Art Show 
The Second Graders proudly showed off their creative work of arts when we visited the art show. We were all very impressed with the artistic talents of all of the Holy Child students.














 Pen Pals
In addition to practicing for next week's First Holy Communion liturgy, the Second Graders made First Communion cards for their pen pals at Holy Child School at Rosemont who will be celebrating the Sacrament of Eucharist this Saturday.
Science
It isn't easy to balance a popsicle stick on a chopstick, but these Second graders were able to do it. They wrapped a pipecleaner around the popsicle stick and then adjusted the clothespins on the pipecleaner until the popsicle was balanced on the chopstick.

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp. Finally, the students demonstrated how well the inclined planes worked and we measured how far each car traveled. ___________________________________________________________________________ St. Nicholas Day On December 6th, there was much excitement as students left their shoes in t...
