BON DIA
Week 13

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!  We have come to the last week in November, so hard to believe!  We are nearing the end of the first Quarter of school.  Report cards will go home in a few weeks.


We are also approaching our first, One Saturday, on December 8th.  For those of you who are new to the school we help support a food bank and community up in Burlington who are primarily migrant workers.  This is a wonderful opportunity for families and students to travel up to the Catholic Church and serve in the Food Bank (more information on this day will be coming home).  This year each class has decided to make stockings for some of the children in the community.  Our class has decided to fill 10 stockings.  Your student will be coming home with what they have agreed to purchase for stocking.  I recommend the dollar store for many of the items.  If you have any questions about this project please contact me.

Today we began our Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol.  You will see reading and comprehension coming home in the next few weeks.  Tomorrow we will begin vocabulary on the first Stave.  The students will also create a Christmas card, one that Scrooge might have sent out over Christmas.  Trivia:  The first Christmas cards came out in 1843.

4th grade Religion will have a 10 Commandments test on Thursday.  We will then begin our Advent unit.  We may have one of the Postulates in our room for Religion on Tuesday's and Thursday's.

4th grade math continues to work on multiplication and division standard algorithm.  There will be a multiplication/division quiz on Thursday.

Hope all have a wonderful week!  Four weeks until Christmas Break!!
