Mrs. Bishop's 4th grade Religion class enjoyed learning about the Great Commandment while answering questions posted around the room. They were also able to reinforce their collaboration and communication skills. #faith #catholicvalues #tomorrowsleaders
Montessori students have been working with the parable of the mustard seed. They observe how small the seeds are, but how when planted can grow into a tall tree. Students can relate this to God's love that grows in our heart & helps to build the Kingdom of Heaven. #montessorilearning #mustardseed #faith
One of the works in our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd curriculum in the Montessori classroom is the model altar. Students gently place each item on the altar: chalice, paten, crucifix, candle holders, & candles; then return each item to the altar cabinet. #montessorilearning #goodshepherd #Catholicvalues #tomorrowsleaders

🐝 In celebration of #CatholicSchoolsWeek SMS students participated in a "Catholic Bee" on Friday! The "white" & "blue" teams faced off to test their knowledge of the Mass, scripture, liturgical seasons & more. Students in the audience were also invited to answer the questions on their clipboards. The teams "buzzed in" with their answers using light up bee sculptures made by students in our Makerspace Lab. The white team claimed victory in a close match, but every on-stage participant was a winner thanks to Target gift cards generously donated by the St. Mary's Knights of Columbus. Think you could answer most of the questions correctly? Try your hand at it in the comments!
