Attention Early Childhood Parents
Due to the increased number of students attending extended care in the morning all preschool students and prekindergarten students will now attend extended care in a classroom. All students will still be offered breakfast. Breakfast is offered from 7:00- 7:45 am. Students will be signed in as usual.
SJS Celebrates Read Across America
Meteorologist Jacob Wycoff from WBZ's channel 4 stopped by St. Joseph School on March 2nd to help celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America. Jacob reported live from the Pre-K classroom and interviewed Miss Day, the Pre-Kindergarten teacher. The segment closed with Jacob asking the students to announce into the camera "Back to You!"
After the live interview, Jacob read a Dr. Seuss "inspired" book about weather and then participated in a STEM experiment where the students made "rain" in a cup using water, shaving cream and food coloring. Students were able to use droppers to make it rain! The day ended with Jacob giving an assembly to students in grades 3-8 where he gave a presentation about meteorology, working on the news, and what he has learned over the years.
Reporting LIVE from SJS PRE-K!
MAKING IT RAIN!
Thank you, Jacob Wycoff for visiting SJS!
