I hope that you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.  

As December begins, we are reminded of the love that Jesus gave to us, and the real reason for the celebration of Christmas.  I hope that this brings peace and love to you, your family, and loved ones.

In Religion, we are learning about the Holy Spirit, different Saints, faith, and compassion. During this Advent season, we are preparing and waiting for the coming of Jesus on Christmas.

The fourth grade class is working on their novel project assignment. Students are completing different assignments reflecting on important aspects of the novel unit.  

In Math, we have begun working on division using partial quotients and long division.

We continue to work on our standards in Social Studies and Science while learning about communities in history and the power of flowers.

Here are some important dates to remember this month:
-Thursday, December 16-Christmas Program at 7:00pm in the Church
-December 20-January 3-Christmas break
-January 4-school resumes (noon dismissal)

Friendly reminders:
-Students should always take home their study materials: including study guides, notes, books, etc.
-Students are given plenty of notice for upcoming tests or quizzes.
-Students need to continue to practice the multiplication tables.
-Students need to make sure they come to school prepared with all of the correct supplies.

I hope that you have a beautiful Advent season!
Blessings,
Mrs. De La Pena
