Second Grade in Action

The OLS 2nd graders are learning that Jesus is their forever friend.

With the preparation for Reconciliation and Holy Communion, our 2nd grade students spends the year learning how to be good followers of Jesus.

They also learned a song to help learn the directions on a compass rose. Complete with hand and body motions, the song is sung to the melody of "The Ants Go Marching One by One Hurrah, Hurrah":

The sun is rising in the east ,the east, the east.
The sun is setting in the west ,the west, the west.
My nose is north , my seat is south ,and I can turn myself about .
The sun is rising in the east and setting in the west.

The students put the song into motion:
