Dear Families:
Happy Advent! We are quite busy here at school. . .
We are preparing for our MMO: We Begin In Faith. On Monday, we will be leading the prayer service for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. The students have been working hard on their beautiful portraits of the Virgin Mary for this occasion. I'd say they are "frame worthy!"
The descriptive writing projects are coming along via Google Classroom. These are due December 8th. We are working diligently here at school, but if needed your student can access it at home to finish on time.
We tested on chapter 5 in social studies on Thursday. Next, we will take a look at the early English settlements in chapter 6.
Shakespeare continues to come along. We are on our second run-through and hope to finish before break.
O Come, O Come Emanuel
Pax,
Mrs. G
Be kinder than is necessary.
