Steinkamp's Scoop

 The 8th grade finished creating their monstrances, and they look great! A monstrance is a vessel where the consecrated host is on display through the lunula. Below is a picture of some of the monstrances created by the 8th grade. They are learning about how the Holy Spirit can be one with us. The Eucharist is one of the ways.  The 6th grade enjoyed the weather by playing dominoes with their geography vocabulary. They are focusing on longitude and latitude and how the tilting of the earth effects days, nights, and seasons. 

  The 7th grade has so much fun learning about mesoamerica! Here are some of the pictures of their projects!   Matthew displaying his Aztec death mask.  Caden explaining the design of his warrior mask.  Owen displaying his warrior mask.   Kadley trying to decipher a Mayan calendar   Gabe also trying to decipher his Mayan calendar  A close up of one of the calendars.  We joined our preschool friends to demonstrate the floating gardens! They helped put the "garden" on the the flotation device.
