Third grade student, Caroline Bounds, helps to create a board game which will reflect on a particular topic the students have learned about during the school year. Students must come up with their own questions and answers, design and make the board, write directions, and teach another group how to play the game.

| By:

The third grade students recently presented “Anansi: Adventures Through Africa” which highlighted folktales originating in the country of Ghana but also added their own “twist” to the stories.  Inspired by visiting story teller, Mr. Bobby Norfolk; students applied the lessons learned from Mr. Norfolk and added their own “twist” to the traditional folktales about “Anansi the Spider” to create their unique stories which comprised their production.  In addition, in an effort to connect with children of the same age in Africa, third grade students accepted donations to to benefit the Orphan Care Center in Botswana.

Third grade students took all of St. Anthony on an adventure with their "twisted" stories of "Anansi the Spider."

Getting Busy!

| By:

The students at St. Anthony Catholic School wasted no time getting right to work.  With tests already graded and projects due, the students have had an opportunity to demonstrate their unique skills to their teachers and peers.  This year promises to be successful with what we have seen already with the quality of work the children have demonstrated.  Each week we hope to highlight some different curriculum topics or activities to help our parents understand what all we accomplish at St. Anthony and why we teach particular lessons and skills.  We will focus on arts & technology integration, specialist instruction, special programs and guest speakers, and the everyday classroom environment.  We want our parents and community members to become confident in communicating with others about the high standard of education your child receives here at St. Anthony.
