Technology in the Classroom

 

Mrs. Thames's 3rd grade Art Class studied Origami. The class used an App on the iPads to follow along and make wonderful 3-D art creations. The older students caught the origami bug and used the App as well. "Hooray for the iPads, Apple TV's, and Projectors," says Mrs. Thames.

Dear Parents and Friends of OLMC School,

 

All of our OLMC families will be very much in my prayers during this grace-filled and joyful season.  May the Christ-Child touch your heart, heal your relationships, and draw you close to Him - our God and Savior, come to us as a Child to adore!  Come, let us adore Him!

 

With prayers or your families,

Sister Dominic
