Grandparents Day
Notre Dame Elementary School students in grades kindergarten through fourth had a spectacular day with their grandparents and/or guests. They celebrated the day with Mass, bingo and refreshments. A special photograph with their grandparents was taken.
NDES recognizes the importance of family and reinforces these beliefs through many special events throughout the year.
Descriptive Writing
Fourth-grade English language arts students participated in a descriptive writing lesson. For the lesson, students worked in groups of three. The first student in the group created and designed a picture of a house, the second student wrote a paper to describe the house and the third student recreated a picture of the house by using the second student’s description only. They then came together and revealed their interesting results.
