Sallie's last day at SJS

Sallie Ann had her picture drawn by 5A today and we hope to have the book bound and sent with Sallie Ann as she travels. Sallie spent time in 5A today listening to the story Hoot and she also helped 5B study for their Religion and Math tests tomorrow. Sallie has been picked-up by her family and she will be going to Georgia over the weekend. Thank you for visiting with us Sallie Ann!

Sallie Ann had another fun day in fifth grade at SJS. She got her picture taken with many of the fifth grade students, she helped during an M&M math activity and she got to help teach about differences between the North and South during the time of the Civil War. Sallie Ann also had pictures drawn of her by all of the students in 5B. She is looking forward to visiting 5A tomorrow where they are going to draw a picture of her. These pictures are going to be made into a small booklet which Sallie Ann can take with her when she leaves. She is also looking forward to some fife and drum music tomorrow!

Sallie is spending the day in fifth grade at Saint Joseph School today and she is learning about the division over slavery that occurred before the Civil War in the 1830's. She is also learning about which states were considered slave states and which were considered free. Tariff-this is also a word that Sallie learned today. She did not know that a tariff is very similar to a tax. Sallie also found the Supreme Court case of Dred Scott to be very interesting and she didn't understand why he was not awarded his freedom. Sallie will also be joining in on a discussion with a Deacon from the church, who will be teaching her, and all of fifth grade about the Sacraments. Sallie also learned a little about ratio and probability while sitting in on a Math class. She seems excited about being here! I hope tomorrow she can do some other fun activities with fifth grade!
