Our third graders have been busy diving into author’s purpose & prediction📚✍️! Through reading and discussion, they’re learning to figure out why an author writes—and predict what the author will write. . It’s been fun to see them think like readers and authors as they share their ideas and make great connections to the texts. Way to go, third grade!

✨ Something NEW at IC! ✨
We are excited to share something new at Immaculate Conception School! A parish member has donated funds to provide a special lunch for students who demonstrate our core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service.
Twice a month, we will draw a student’s name from our Shout Outs—recognitions given by staff who see students living out our core values throughout the week. These shout outs are shared during our Wednesday morning prayer, and now they come with an special treat!
🎉 The selected student will enjoy a special lunch and may choose a friend to join them. It’s a joyful way to celebrate the everyday actions that make our school community strong. Our first student that earned this special treat was Piper Hall. Piper consistenly shows the core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service. Her Shout Out drawn was for demonstrating the core value of Kindness.
Thank you to our generous parish member, and congratulations in advance to our future core value leaders! 💙🤍

’Twas the day after the Christmas concert,
and through hallways so bright,
Mrs. Field took a stroll
in the soft morning light.
From classrooms to corners,
in each space she would see
Bright scholars hard at work—
as focused as could be.
Second grade led the way
with their calm, quiet cheer,
But as she kept walking,
more shining stars appeared!
Kindergarten, 1st grade,
and Preschool, too—
All learning, all smiling,
their excitement renewed.
The concert had ended,
yet the joy still aglow—
What a wonderful sight
for Mrs. Field to behold! ✨🎄📚

’Twas the day after the Christmas concert,
and all through 2nd grade,
Not a creature was stirring—
not even a pencil being played.
The room was so quiet
as Mrs. Field stepped in slow,
Even Mrs. Platts jumped a little
when she heard her cheerful “Hello!”
Our scholars worked hard,
and it truly did show—
Way to go, 2nd graders!
Your sparkle and effort continue to glow! 🎄✨
Just a reminder tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 4 at 1:30 pm and 6:30 pm, IC will hold their PreK-2nd grade Christmas concert.
Doors open at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
🔍✨ Magnets in Motion! ✨🔍 Our third graders put their curiosity to work today during a hands-on science experiment all about magnets! Students tested what objects magnets attract, explored magnetic force, and made predictions before trying out their ideas. There was lots of excitement, teamwork, and plenty of “WOW!” moments as they discovered how magnets push, pull, and interact with different materials. We love seeing our students learn through exploration and wonder! 🧲💡
