November 2025

Preschool - Mrs. Malone, Ms. Onkka

Our themes for the month of October include fall, fire safety, pumpkins, and, of course, Halloween! 

We discussed the job of a firefighter, the tools firefighters use, and ways we can keep ourselves safe. We have fire drills at school. Does your family have practice drills at home? Our 3 & 5 day pre-k classes enjoyed their visit to our neighborhood fire station. Thank you to all of the parents who accompanied us on our field trips!

Fall means pumpkins everywhere, so we will spend some time investigating their sizes, shapes, and insides!

We look forward to discussing your child’s progress next week during conferences on Wednesday, October 29th from 12:30-4:00 P.M. and all day on Thursday, October 30th.

Our Halloween parties will take place on Tuesday, October 28th and on the morning of Wednesday, October 29th. We are all very excited about Halloween!

Kindergarten - Mrs. Guinan, Mrs. Millar, Mrs. Vaughan

The students have had fun experimenting like real scientists this month. They made predictions and explored speed and direction when moving objects.

They have also learned about ways to be a good citizen by following rules and laws.

The boys and girls explored solid shapes. They can identify which ones stack, slide, or roll.

The students had a lot of fun parading their costumes for the residents of Parsons House. It was fun to see the smiles on all the residents’ faces!

We look forward to meeting our kindergarten parents at conferences, and the kindergartners are excited for their parents to see how they are doing so far. 

First Grade - Mrs. Kleffman, Mrs. Caito, Mrs. Wynegar

First graders have been very busy in math class! We have introduced both addition and subtraction and will be reinforcing specific strategies with your student that will allow for further success. A great way to review this skill at home is to practice math facts on a regular basis.

Please remember to fill out the reading log in your child’s assignment notebook every day. Reading practice outside of school is critical to your child becoming a fluent reader with good comprehension skills.

Thank you for all of your hard work preparing your child for our All Saints Day parade! It is one of our favorite events during the school year! We hope you enjoyed this school tradition as much as we do.

Second Grade - Ms. Hargens, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Truscott

Thank you for helping prepare your child for the sacrament of First Reconciliation. The children worked really hard preparing in school. You should feel very proud. 

We had SO much fun going over to Parson’s House. The students made sure to give their best smiles and wish residents a "Happy Halloween!” while trick or treating. It really does brighten the day of the residents. 

In Math, we started talking about graphs and data. Students will look at different types of graphs and learn how to read them. They will also get the opportunity to make their own graph and look at ways to compare information. 

Continue working on math facts and reading with your child. Be sure to be filling in Book It calendars. 

Third Grade - Ms. Ruelas, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Schofield

It is hard to believe the first quarter has come to an end. Time flies when you’re working hard and having fun! Thank you for all you are doing at home to help your child complete homework and stay organized.

The students are using their Chromebook daily, with teacher guidance, in the classroom and at specials. We will be placing more assignments in Google Classroom as the year progresses to help students navigate this learning tool and further enhance their education.

Circle of Grace, Safe Environment for children, will be taught during the month of November.

Thank you to the parents who will be helping with the Halloween party. We appreciate you taking the time to plan, organize, and execute this fun activity.

No “TRICKS” here! Being at school  is a real “TREAT!” We are blessed to witness the amazing growth of the students!

Fourth Grade - Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Thede, Mrs. Schroen

The fourth grade students will visit the Douglas Country Courthouse on October 27th. They have been learning all about how our national, state, and local governments make laws. We will get to tour the building and meet in Judge Keim’s courtroom. It will be a tremendous way to see our government in action!

During October, the month of the Rosary, fourth graders have been learning about the Mysteries of the Rosary and the different prayers that are prayed on the corresponding beads. They made their own Rosary to pray this beautiful prayer. We will continue to pray the Rosary throughout the year.

In science class, the electricians connected wires, a battery, and a light bulb to create series and parallel circuits. We transitioned into the heat unit by creating a "solar cooker" that heated up water.

Fifth Grade - Mrs. Dotzler, Mrs. Jones, Ms. Salerno

We’re excited to start the second quarter and have the opportunity to meet parents in person for conferences soon!

Fifth graders have had a great start to their second quarter! They are learning about European colonization in social studies and getting ready to dive into biology in science. Finally, in English, students completed the unit on nouns and were excited to randomly draw their state name for the State Fair recently and have begun the writing process for the first paragraph of their research paper in English.

We are so proud of our fifth graders for their awesome music performance! Thank you to Mrs. LeMense, parents, and students for all of your hard work and preparation!

Sixth Grade - Mrs. Wane, Mrs. Bernt, Mrs. Guinotte

Social Studies: We’ve just wrapped up our exploration of ancient Mesopotamia, covering its early cities, writing, and empires. Before moving on, we’ll take a brief detour to connect the Bible to ancient history by looking at figures like Abraham and Moses, exploring how their stories fit into the broader context of the ancient world.

Math: In math, the focus is now shifting to fractions, an exciting new concept that builds on previous work with whole numbers. Students will begin learning how to identify, compare, and represent fractions, laying the foundation for understanding parts of a whole and how they relate to everyday situations. This introduction to fractions will help develop important problem-solving skills and prepare for more advanced math topics ahead.

English: Students are working with adjectives this month. What ways can you describe simple things? A freakishly humungous hairy beast sounds better than a tall monster with hair.

Literature: Students are traveling with Billy Colman and his two red hounds in the novel, Where the Red Fern Grows. This is usually a favorite of students, especially if they have experienced the love of a pet.

Religion: Students have finished their “God’s Wonder and Awe” mosaics. The mosaics will be displayed during conferences. Please come see the beautiful artwork, which will be hanging outside Room 63.  

Science: Students are working hard on their inventions and presentations. Please come see your child’s invention on Friday, November 14th, at 2:15 P.M. in the Parish Center. Everyone has worked very hard, and they are excited to show you their inventions.

JUNIOR HIGH

English – Mr. Leever 

English 7—Students have completed the first unit over parts of speech (nouns). Our next topic is adjectives—types of adjectives, placement of adjectives, etc. Our next writing unit will be a character analysis, where students choose a character from a literature book they have read and explain how that character has changed throughout the novel.

English 8—Students have learned how to analyze sentences and sentence structures in order to diagram them. Our next writing assignment will be to choose and research a well-known vacation destination. Researched information will be organized into an informational paragraph. Students will use MLA formatted parenthetical citations with a works cited page.

Science - Mrs. Kolberg 

7th grade

Seventh graders have been busy in the lab lately. We have worked with yeast and found out that they love sugar (kind of like 7th graders!). We grew bread mold and looked at mold under the microscopes. In these pictures, you can see the seventh graders busy dissecting mushrooms. Fungi have been fun!

8th grade

Eighth graders have finished the unit on waves—both sound and light. Each student should know how light and sound can reflect, transmit, and absorb! We ventured into the electromagnetic spectrum and learned how we can see millions of different colors but can’t see most of the other divisions of the spectrum. To finish our unit on waves, we dissected a sheep eye and found that sheep eyes and human eyes are very similar….not “baaad” for a final project!

Math - Mr. Polacek

The end of the first quarter brings quite a bit of change to the 7th and 8th grade math classes. We usually start the year with a chapter or two reviewing topics from the previous year, and by the time October rolls around, the amount of new material starts to increase. All of the classes have spent quite a bit of time solving equations and working on showing work and writing down the steps.  

The 8th grade algebra class is moving along with a long chapter of graphing lines and calculating slope. Many different forms and formulas will need to be correctly used to successfully navigate the varied problems.  

The pre-algebra classes will take a short pit stop with percents before heading on to spend some time with all kinds of shapes in our geometry unit while the 7th grade math class has finished our review of decimals and fractions and will be  moving on to some more pre-algebra topics like expressions and equations.

I appreciate so much the continued support of the parents and the hard work of all the students, I look forward to being able to continue on this educational journey with them.

Religion - Mrs. Nigrin

During the month of October, the 7th and 8th grade students have spent a lot of time talking about vocations and discovering what gifts and talents they possess right now that God can use to shape their vocation. This is a lifelong journey and one we need to encourage them on. They will have completed a vocation essay, and the Vocation Committee of St. Vincent de Paul Parish will be presenting the top essays with an award. Both classes also attended their retreats this month. We ask for continued prayers for them as they prepare for their Confirmations. October is the month of the rosary, and each class will be reciting the rosary on the Fridays of October. We discussed the blessings Mary promises to those who recite the rosary; they are very powerful! 8th graders continue to talk about the types of prayer and are practicing Lectio Divina and Ignatian Contemplation. 7th graders are discussing the Transfiguration and Incarnation and the truths of the Paschal Mystery. Continue to keep us in your prayers!

Social Studies - Mrs. Sullivan

7th graders recently finished a unit on human geography. We learned about economic geography, political geography, and population geography, with much of our discussion being focused on cultures around the world. We were able to make many connections to recent things happening in the world. Our upcoming units include focusing on specific places in the world starting with the United States, Canada, and North America as a whole. The students will be making maps throughout the next several units to help with our study. In addition, they will work on individual and small group projects. We have also been working on how to take notes, using guided notes as a tool. 

8th graders just finished up a unit on the Revolutionary War and the Constitution. The students learned about the reasons for the revolution as well as the parts of the Constitution and how they connect to our world and government today. Upcoming units will include the Jefferson and Jackson eras as well as Manifest Destiny. Our study will include making timelines of these events. There will be several individual and small group projects throughout this study. The 8th grade has also been working on how to take notes, using guided notes as a tool. 

Literature - Mrs. Fosbender

The seventh grade literature students have started the seventh grade textbook. In unit 1 students will consider "Does every conflict have a winner?" The students will be working on different strategies to help them find different ways to solve conflicts and will also have writing and research activities to complete.

The eighth grade students finished reading My Brother Sam is Dead and will start the novel Stargirl. The theme is based on friendship, bullying, and being yourself. Students will complete activities to help reinforce the correct way to treat others and also use strategies that will help with comprehension and writing skills.

Computers - Mrs. Kuhr

Preschool

We read Robots, Robots Everywhere and the children learned about what makes up a robot and how robots help us with different tasks. We had fun discussing robots and practiced writing our names using the Sphero BOLT. Next, we introduced the Sphero Indi robot! The students designed a route for Indi to follow around obstacles.

Kindergarten

Students began practicing programming skills with Code Monkey Jr. They learned to move "the monkey" forward, spin, and jump using basic programming blocks. After that, we transitioned to Kodable, where students created and arranged sequences of steps to guide the fuzz through a maze.Class Codes:

K1 - k1 cat

K2 - k2 dog

K3 - k3 pig

1st Grade 

We started practicing our programming skills using Kodable! Students are creating and arranging steps to help a fuzzy character move through a maze. We also talked about what computer programs are and how sequencing works. Class Codes:

11 - 11 Blue

12 - 12 Pink

13 - 13 Red

Students learned that the information they share online leaves a digital footprint or "trail." We discussed the difference between private information, which identifies them, and personal information, which is safe to share.We are starting a fun project in Kid Pix where students will "Roll & Decorate a Digital Pumpkin." They will create their own decorated pumpkins while learning to use different tools in Kid Pix. This will practice their sequencing skills.

2nd Grade 

Students were introduced to Google Slides. They are learning how to use the fill tool by typing Halloween sight words. Students are now creating text boxes and changing fonts to type Halloween words, which will be used as legs for a spider!

3rd Grade 

This month, we talked about "How Words Can Change a Picture." Students learned that a caption can change what we think a picture means. By the end of the lesson, they will be able to use digital tools to recognize their classmates for their positive words and actions by creating a digital badge using Google Drawing.
We are also starting a robotics unit with the Edison bots! Students will learn about barcode programming to become familiar with the Edison robot, including its sensors and buttons. Next, they will program the Edison bots using block programming.

4th Grade 

We just finished a unit on "AI in Daily Life." By the end of the lesson, students will be able to provide examples of how artificial intelligence is used every day around the world. They also discussed the role AI plays in their own lives. Students trained and tested a machine learning model and created flashcards using AI for clipart and Google Translate to change their words into another language. Now, we are starting a new robotics unit with our Sphero BOLTs!

5th Grade 

In groups, students created a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story using Google Slides. By the end of the lessons, they will have made an engaging and interactive story. Students were introduced to an "If-Then Adventure." Each table worked together to brainstorm settings, characters, and plots. They shared their stories, and they are available to read in Google Classroom.

6th Grade 

We began the year with a focus on Digital Safety. By the end of this unit, students will simulate how hackers can access accounts, files, and devices when they are not protected by secure passwords. They used Google Sheets and learned to use the Concatenate formula to help generate strong passwords. Students tested their passwords to see how strong they were and worked on ways to improve them.
Next, we will start a lesson on Generative AI in Humanities. Students will analyze the ethical implications and effective uses of AI in writing and research within humanities subjects.

8th Grade 

The year kicked off with the podcasting unit. Students are thinking critically about what makes a strong podcast. They will develop a list of topics and choose one idea to create their podcast. In groups, students will select a topic and come up with ideas based on three prompts. They will identify key points to communicate through a script for their podcast. They have been working hard, and I can't wait to share their progress!

5th Grade Robotics Club

In our Fall Robotics Club, students are using LEGO SPIKES to create two different prototypes. They will design multiple prototypes to find the best way to move a robot without using wheels.  As part of the process, they will test two designs with objects of different shapes and sizes to determine the most efficient grabber design based on specific criteria.
Now, they are starting to use our Sphero RVRs and littleBits to create a robot that will move to a designated point and launch a paper ball. 
We will be starting the Winter 3rd Grade Robotics Club in November. A sign-up will be coming out in the next few weeks.  The 4th Grade Robotics Club will be held later in the spring.

Educational Strategists 

Mrs. Heavey Grades K-2

Make Read Alouds part of your daily routine with your child.

Parent Read Alouds can have a positive impact on your child’s literacy development. Choose a book and find time to read to your child. This activity can help nurture a love of reading and build vocabulary. Here are some tips to get started:

- Allow your child to pick a book that interests them.

- Build vocabulary by stopping and talking about new words.

- Ask questions about the story and encourage your child to share what they are wondering about.

- Connect the story to your child’s world.

- Make Read Alouds part of your family routine.

Check out readingrockets.org to find other ideas.

Mrs. Price Grades 3-5

One of the most enjoyable interactions with my students is using their written expression skills to make a connection with them. This occurs during my small group reading groups at the beginning of the week. After prayer, I ask the students to write a complete sentence or two about their weekend. I usually model this for them on my board and set a timer for two minutes. Afterwards, students will share what they wrote, ask questions, and provide positive feedback on each other's writing. Not only does this help ease them into another week of learning, but it also helps them make meaningful connections with each other while improving their writing skills! 

Ms. Bousquet Grades 6-8

As adults, we may be tempted to rescue our children when they forget their homework, miss a due date, or show up without their Chromebook. We want to pop in and make it better, but then the only thing they learn is that when they mess up, someone is there to fix it for them. Taking a step back places the responsibility back on the child, which allows students to take ownership of their choices and develop the confidence and resilience needed to grow. Allowing students to experience the natural consequences of missed work teaches accountability far better than constant reminders or last-minute saves.

Instead of fixing the problem, consider guiding them to reflect on how their actions created the outcome. Consider helping them develop a plan with concrete steps to prepare them to do better next time. Encourage students to use planning tools like their assignment notebook or other tools you may use at home, but let your child manage them. When we stop rescuing students, they learn that responsibility belongs to them, which fosters confidence, agency, and ownership. 

Guidance - Mrs. Skudlarek

What a busy month it has been! Our theme has focused on being kind and not showing bully like behaviors. Kindergartners learned about the importance of using caring and sharing rules when playing on the playground, eating together, and working in the classroom. First graders learned about ways to show kindness when working with others. Second graders learned about two different types of bullying and what to do when they see something that does not look quite right. Third graders learned about the three types of people that make up a bully situation: victim, bystander, and bully. They also discussed examples of bullying and acted out ways to put a stop to unkind behavior. Fourth and fifth graders reviewed the types of people that make up a bully situation, and we focused a lot on the role of the bystander. In sixth, seventh and eighth grade, students learned about inclusion and being a good member of any team. We will continue to practice ways to be kind and compassionate inside the school as well as outside the school. Our kids amaze me each day with what they know and what they want to learn.  Our 7th grade students spent Friday, October 17th, participating in a retreat day. It was a memorable day with many SVdP alumni returning to help lead small groups. Please continue to keep all of our students in your prayers.  

HAL - Mrs. Miller
October was filled with lots of learning. The 4th and 5th grade students worked on dividing whole numbers and decimals. Keeping those math facts sharp was necessary for success in completing homework. The 6th graders finished up exponent properties and began their study of real numbers and their operations. The algebra class worked on functions and graphing the slope of a line. The junior high literature classes completed their first novels and their first set of projects. The 7th graders completed a profile picture of words and phrases that represented themselves, and the 8th graders did research and a presentation on a topic from the 1960s, which was the setting of our novel. Both groups are ready to dive into their next book! 

Media Center - Mrs. Kaiser

One of the best ways to find a new book is to read one recommended by a friend. During quarter two grades 2-7 will be doing various activities designed to help students find books recommended by their peers. 

We are looking forward to the Book Fair on November 10-14! Thanks to everyone who supports this event. The Book Fair funds both libraries (K-3 and 4-8) for the school year. We will also be donating to the library at Holy Name. 

Thanks to the following students and families who donated books to the library: Camryn Vaughan, Warric Latham, Elayna Shramek, Ryleigh Robinson, Ben Eichele, and Harper Cummings. 

Music - Mrs. LeMense

Many thanks to our 4th and 5th graders for performing a wonderful Grand Ole Opry program!

We all really enjoyed it! What energy!  🎵 The recorder is what is next for 4th and 5th graders.  

(Fourth graders will be receiving their own recorders from me very soon.)

Our next show here at SVdP will feature our kindergarten and First graders. 

We’re preparing to celebrate the theme of Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 20th at 6:30 P.M. in the school gym.   Students will get to wear their dress-up clothes for the program.   More details will be emailed to you soon. 

Second and third graders will have their program in February.   We will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation! Red, white, and blue will be the colors for that show. 

Music - Ms. Campbell 

We are still busy preparing our December 11th Christmas Concert. The students are being super creative with their ideas, and it is bound to be a wonderful program. Besides Christmas music, we have learned about composer Lin-Manuel Miranda. It is interesting to see just how many iconic projects he has worked on. Studying him has led us to create our own musicals! 

PE - Mr. Boone

October was a great month with the beautiful weather we had. Taking advantage of the weather, some of the PE classes were held outside.

K-3-During this month, the students worked on their soccer skills by doing activities like Teacher Says, Driver’s Test, Follow The Leader, Soccer Bowling, 1 v 1 Cone Soccer, and Four Corner Soccer. Emphasizing using our feet to stop the ball rather than our hands took some getting used to but was eventually picked up by all. The latter half of the month had the students working on their underhand tossing, catching, and overhand throwing. Stepping with the opposite foot was stressed as the students played Climb The Ladder, Fire and Ice Tag, Monster Ball, Hula Hut Throw Down, Oscar’s Trashcan, and Clean Your Room. Rounding out the month, we did our annual Halloween games of Hocus Pocus, Trick or Treat, and Zombie Tag. 

4-6-The students worked on their soccer skills as well by doing activities such as Shark Tag, Scramble, 1 v 1 Cone Soccer, Keep Away, 4 Corner Soccer, First to Five, and Thunder Shooting. Passing, shooting, trapping, dribbling and defense were the key skills that were worked on during this unit. The second half of the month the students worked on Pickle Ball. The students were familiarized with how to hold the paddle, the difference of a forehand and backhand shot, a lob, a volley, smash, serve, and drop shot. These skills were worked on during side games like Pancake Flippers, Pickle Ball Tag, Pickle Ball 4 square, Level 1 toss drills, Level 2 toss drills, 1 Bounce Partner Scramble, Partner Rally Drills, and eventually games of pickle ball. The students finished the month by playing Halloween games as well.  

PE - Mrs. Conry

The seventh and eight grade took the fitness gram test. The Fitness gram test is a national youth fitness assessment and reporting program developed by The Cooper Institute in 1982.The  program measures students' health-related fitness to promote lifelong physical activity and help them set personal fitness goals. 

Instead of comparing students to one another, the FitnessGram measures their performance against age- and gender-specific health standards, known as "Healthy Fitness Zones." The assessment is broken into five areas of health-related fitness: 

The FitnessGram is a health-related physical fitness assessment that measures five components: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. The results compare students to health-related standards, not to each other, to provide personalized feedback to help them develop lifelong fitness habits.  

We started serving techniques for badminton and will continue working on the skills and begin playing games.

Spanish 2nd-4th - Mrs. McDermott

Students in second grade Spanish are learning how to respond to: 1) “Como estas?” (How are you?) with “Muy bien“ (very well), “Mas o menos" (so-so) and “Muy mal "(very bad) and 2) "Como te llamas?” (What is your name?) with “Me llamo_______” (My name is______).

Students in third grade Spanish are learning the names of dinner foods such as el biftec (steak), la chuleta, (pork) el pollo (chicken),el pescado (fish), el jamón (ham), el arroz (rice), la sopa (soup) and how to use “(No) Me gusta________ (I (don’t) like) when speaking about food.

Students in fourth grade Spanish are learning the months of the year (enero, febrero, marzo, abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre, diciembre). Note: the days of the week and months of the year in Spanish begin with a lower case letter.

Spanish 5th-8th - Mrs. Singh

¡Hola!

The second quarter is off to a great start. I would first like to ask a quick favor. If you email me with any questions, please let me know which homeroom your student is in.  

Hispanic Heritage month flew by. We started the celebration by wishing Happy Independence Day to Guatemala and our friends at our Sister-school San Idelfonso. 

Students learned that all of Central America (except Belize and Panamá) celebrate independence the night before México’s Independence on the 16 of September. 

We ended the celebration with España’s Día de la Hispanidad (Spain’s National Day) on the 12 of October. Students learned that Spain shared their language with the New World, and the indigenous people of each region helped to shape the culture of the present day Spanish speaking countries.  

We will now move our focus to an important Catholic holiday in México—El Día de los Muertos / Day of the Dead. 

8th graders did a fantastic job improving their pronunciation and presenting a tongue twister by memory. Now they are learning Spanish personal pronouns and beginning to use that knowledge to start conjugating verbs. We will review our study of food vocabulary from last year and learn how to order in a restaurant for ourselves and others.

7th graders have mastered the alphabet to spell their name out loud and picked a tongue twister focusing on a specific vowel sound to present by memory. 

Students are starting to learn body parts. They are creating a spooky Halloween-themed image to label “Las partes del cuerpo,”  the parts of the body.  

They are working on a short skit with a partner to describe a body part that is hurting.  

6th graders have been studying calendar information. We are practicing using the terms for “day, week, month, year, season” and writing the date in Spanish. It is a challenge to write the date correctly because they need to write the day before the month. They were also interested to learn that the Spanish calendar starts on Monday… so on a Spanish calendar, Saturday and Sunday are actually the week-END!  Students choose their favorite month and will create a calendar page for this month.

5th graders are continuing to practice the alphabet and numbers. Students enjoyed playing the game “diez” that practices counting… students can say 1,  2 ,or 3 digits at a time as they count to 10. However, they have to sit down if they are forced to say the number “diez.” Next we are going to practice Saludos y Despedidas (greetings and goodbyes). Students will create a mini cartoon strip. 

It’s wonderful to hear students speaking more Spanish in class and in the hallways.

¡Gracias!
