Curriculum Night: Part II

Thursday night was "Part II" of the curriculum nights for parents at St. Mary's. This time, I got to hear about the great things Olivia, Julia and Lauren will be doing.

And like Tuesday, it was Mrs. Senna (pictured at right) who attracted all the attention for her unusual headgear.

Among the highlights:

- Keyboarding skills (i.e. typing on the computer) are taught as early as first grade. (Hey Emily, it's time for you to start practicing!)

- First Reconciliation for Julia will take place in January.

- Lauren listed Uncle Jon as her "hero" on a project that outlined interesting facts about her and her family.

- All of the girls are off to a great start, particularly in the art department. Though I don't have any examples to share, there were some impressive drawings in the collection of papers I reviewed and passed on to Danielle.
