Steinkamp's Scoop

Dear Parents, It’s that time of year where we celebrate the next chapter in the 8th graders’ lives...GRADUATION! So, a few things for tomorrow night. Please have your child at church by 6:30 Pews will be reserved for immediate family. Parents please sit closest to the middle isle. This way it makes it easier for your child to find you during the parent recognition portion of the ceremony.   IF you are giving the kids a graduation present, there will be tables set up downstairs to put those presents on. Last year each child go their own table for that reason. (DON’T feel like you have to buy a gift, that was only an IF.) The reception is immediately following the mass. This is an opportunity for the whole class to exchange gifts and take group pictures. Questions? Call or e-mail me. Miss Steinkamp Graduation is Thursday the 26th at 7 pm at Holy Spirit Church. Hope to see you there!!

The 8th grade went on their field trip on Thursday to Principal Park to watch some ICub baseball. We had a blast! Here are some pictures documenting our trip. P.S. Don't mind my picture taking skills. It was bright out and I couldn't see my screen AND the kids weren't paying attention or blinking due to lights or my phone couldn't get everyone in. And we are off!  At the Iowa Historical Museum with the big mammoth and baby mammoth.  Loving the cool artwork! Eating at Buzzard Billy's with our fabulous chaperons!  The whole gang, and it actually shows all of us! Woo hoo Sorry Spencer... Sorry Payton...  The whole gang except Beau not paying attention.  Kara got a ball!  Ayden got a free hot dog from the hot dog gun!  Thinking they had to play on the jungle gym within the ball park.  Outside Principal Park! We had to get a picture with Cubbie.  The Cedar underpass!!! THANK YOU to Danika for th

8th Grade parents, just a reminder that the yearbook  money is due tomorrow! Also, please have your child hand in their field trip permission slips by the 10th of May. Our trip is on Thursday the 12th. I will be sending permission slips home today for your child to go to the High School on the 10th of May for a tour of the school. 8th Grade is in their final chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird. We will watch the movie once we are finished then head on to our last and final project, a research paper. 7th Grade is finishing their novel today/tomorrow. Tomorrow we will play a round of comprehension wiffle ball and watch the movie on Monday. They will also have a research paper, but we will work on it in class the week before school is to end. The 6th grade is in the beginning chapters of A Wrinkle in Time. I think it's a little slow for them to start but hopefully they get more into it as the time goes on.
