Our spiritual journey will continue with this week with a study of our Liturgy and how we celebrate the Eucharist.  We will discuss how going to and participating in Mass is essential in following in the footsteps of Christ.  We will learn all the parts of the mass, including our movements and responses.  I encourage you to attend Mass on a weekly basis as this will further help each child to develop and nourish their relationship with Jesus.

We will celebrate Advent by making Advent Wreaths.  These will hang in our hallway to remind us the reason for this holy season.  

We will attend Mass as a class on Monday, December 9th at 9:00 a.m.  This is not a full school Mass.  Our next full school Liturgy will take place on Thursday, December 12th.  Please feel free to join us in celebrating the Eucharist!

Our next topic of focus will be Metric Measurements, Chapter 3.  In this unit, the students will learn how to measure to the nearest millimeter, centimeter, and meter.  We will also learn how to convert metric units of length, mass, and capacity.
