OUR WORK
1st & 2nd Grades
Merry Christmas from first and second grade! We've been buzzing like busy little elves, working diligently and preparing for the arrival of our Lord. We explored the meaning of Advent, learning that it symbolizes our patient wait for the birth of Jesus. We discussed the four candles on the Advent wreath, along with what each candle and its color represent. We also shared personal reflections on things we've waited for, what brings us joy, moments of peace we've experienced, and ways to express love to others.
In reading and language arts, we dug into the world of reindeer, discovering that they're also known as caribou. These herbivores migrate south for the winter, and the children used the facts they gathered to create memorable posters.
In math, first graders practiced breaking numbers into tens and ones, while second graders explored various units of measurement from around the world, such as inches, feet, and meters.
We hope you all have a blessed Christmas with friends and family.
3rd Grade
It’s Spring! The third graders are growing closer to Jesus during Lent and preparing for Easter. At noon on Thursdays we reflect on the Stations of the Cross. Come join us.
In religion class, we’ve been amazed by the miracles Jesus did and how he used parables to teach lessons. Math has been full of fun with fractions. We’re learning about Wisconsin’s fur trading history and connection to the French explorers.
Science and reading class have been spent researching animals and their adaptations. Our next report is on penguins, seals, albatross, and whales. We’ve learned so many interesting things reading our book Where Is Antarctica? Maybe one of us will travel there someday!
School fundraiser: Eat dinner at Bloomer’s DQ on Monday, March 24. They donate a percentage of sales to support St. Peter School.
5th & 6th Grades
The sixth-graders have hit the ground running after a relaxing Christmas break. We are all so excited to be back in the classroom together. This means we are also looking at preparing to bring you another wonderful presentation of the Festival of Nations! Festival of Nations will be occurring earlier than normal this year, with the dates set for March 27th-30th. Mrs. Dachel and myself will also begin working with the students to bring another exciting Forensics Night to you, with dates to come in the future. Stay tuned!
In reading, students have begun their unit regarding space exploration by completing webquests on famous people who played an important role in space history, along with completing infographics on important space history events. Watch the Facebook page for pictures to come! In Religion, the students have begun learning about The Kingdom of Heaven and how Jesus showed us the way to get there through his parables and mission. The sixth-graders have been learning how to convert decimals to fractions and vice versa, while also solving addition and subtraction equations with fractions. The students have also begun learning about matter flow in ecosystems in science and westward expansion in social studies.
We are all looking forward to having a wonderful remainder of the 2025-2026 school year.
7th & 8th Grades
Happy New Year from our staff and students! Thank you to everyone who helped clean the school over Christmas Break!
While we enjoyed our time with our family and friends over Christmas break, it was nice to come back to school and see everyone this week.
Seventh and eighth grades dove into 2026 by setting goals for the new year and reviewing goals they set for themselves at the beginning of the quarter. In Religion class, the students have been studying Pentecost and where the apostles went to spread the Church. Algebra students are studying direct and indirect variations and using graphing calculators, while Prealgebra students are defining variables, setting up equations, and solving them. The students wrapped up the novel The Hiding Place by researching events of that time, connecting them with Catholic Social Teaching, and sharing their research with classmates. Students in grades six through eight have begun their research for the Festival of Nations, which will be held the weekend of March 27-29.
Everyone in the school came together for our annual all-school jump rope contest. Students worked to jump rope the most times in 10 seconds. The top jumpers have the opportunity to participate in the annual Bloomer Speed Jump Rope Contest.
Thank you for all of your support in 2025. Sharing your time, talents, and treasure with us does not go unnoticed. We appreciate all you do for St. Peter School!
