❄️🐧 Miss Gon's Kindergarten class embraced the snow & cold to do their monthly writing piece on penguins, as well as completed a penguin directed drawing. They also finished up math units on addition & subtraction with a paper snowball fight - Kindergarten is SNOW much fun! #Kindergarten2025 #SMS #Januarylearning #SMStheplacetoBEE #penguins #snowmuchfun

💐 Flowers in winter are such a nice surprise! In celebration of #CatholicSchoolsWeek our Kindergarten & grade 1 students colored some beautiful cards and put them in staff mailboxes today in appreciation of our hard working teachers! #celebrateTeachers #CSW2025 #SMStheplacetoBEE

We double dog dare you to like this post! But how couldn't you with a pup as patient as Father Peter's "Lucy", surrounded by our sweet SMS students? The children enjoyed Lucy's classroom visits this week, & of course she enjoyed the attention! #gooddog #SMStheplacetoBEE

Our Kindergartners "got the download" on a lot of great skills & information in Technology class today! They discussed proper handling of their Chromebooks, logged into Google classroom, & practiced using the track-pad by creating pictures. #kindergarten #tech #SMStheplacetoBEE

Our annual Christmas Concert last night was a joy for all! The evening involved all of our students from Montessori Pre-K 3 to Grade 8, & was a beautiful way to continue to observe Advent & get ready for Christmas!

"Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love & his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty & fills the hungry with good things." 🍂🦃 Enjoy grades K-2 singing at our #Thanksgiving lunch here: https://youtu.be/0EQ6cvaH1NY #Family #Tradition

We may all be different fish, but in this school we swim together! Check out this beautiful display created by Mrs. Maria Anderson, our Catholic Charities of WNY Social Worker here at SMS! Students were invited to each color a fish to add to the display. #unity #swimtogether

There are #TURKEYS hiding in our hallways! Miss Gon's Kindergarten class is helping turkeys evade the oven this Thanksgiving by dressing them up in disguises! Each student chose how to disguise their turkey, gave it a name, & wrote a description of their disguise. Their creative ideas included a hockey player, ballerina, bee, princess, Harry Potter, unicorn, Barbie, policeman, fox, mummy & bag of popcorn! We think these clever costumes are going to help the turkeys continue to "gobble gobble" well past next week! Which one is your favorite? #Thanksgiving #Kindergarten #writing #creativity #gobblegobble

Mrs. Genovese's Kindergarten Art class brought the colors & creation of fall to life by picking out different kinds of leaves to paint patterns on them. They finished up with a few words to help us remember how grateful we are for God's beautiful creation. #thankful

We had BOO-tiful weather yesterday for our Halloween parade! Students from Montessori up to 8th grade donned their costumes & paraded to the parish office & back to show off their festive finery. See more photos here: https://tinyurl.com/24jtvvs7 #tradition #halloweenparade

Can you guess which children's Halloween themed book Miss Gon, Mrs. Picone, Mrs. Wojtaszek, & Mrs. Bishop are from? (Hint: Space on the Sweeper). 🧹🧙🏼‍♀️🐸🐶🐦 #halloweencostumes #letsdressup

We don't need to sugarcoat it, Kindergarten had a sweet class party today! Thank you to all of our volunteer parent helpers who came in today to help with all of the Halloween celebrations! #Kindergarten #Halloween2024 #slime #oreospiders

Miss Gon's Kindergarten class started getting into the Halloween spirit yesterday by investigating pumpkins! Using math & science, they explored the characteristics of a pumpkin & even worked together to create a spooky face. 🍁🎃 #Kindergarten2024 #SMS #Halloween

#Kindergarten has been getting into the #SpookySeason & working in groups to create 3-D #Math pumpkins! Each group chose a lucky number, then showed the number in different ways; written out, counted out, or in a tens frame. They also had a chance to create a fun #pumpkin face!

Our #Kindergartners have a new ghostly friend in class watching to see if they are being good! "Spooks" is a friendly little ghost who moves around the room overnight, & students look for him each morning. They even made some glue-y ghosts of their own to decorate! #halloween

Montessori Pre-K - Grade 5 took a walking field trip today to the Swormville Fire Company! They enjoyed the crisp, fall air & had loads of fun learning about fire prevention & safety while touring the fire company. Check out more photos here: https://tinyurl.com/utkuc6ma

Our Kindergarten class is getting hands-on in #Makerspace! The students explored a variety of building materials including wooden blocks, Lincoln logs & marble tubes today to learn about construction and structures. #icanbuild #engineering #design #Kindergarten
