The First Week of December

                             

The First Week of December

We learned so much about the parts of the Catholic Mass in "Mass Class" with Fr. Rich! He was so kind to answer so many of the kids' questions. The kids can't wait for the second session.

Kayley showed off her violin skills by playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for the class. We really enjoyed listening to Kayley play :)

We learned about idioms in reading class this week! The kids collaborated to complete a worksheet on idioms. 

We wrote funny fictional Christmas stories!! The kids had a blast getting creative with the topics. Their choices were "If I were an Elf" and "I Snuck into the North Pole."

Learning what an opinion is. We are all unique and have different opinions, thats what makes us special! 

Making kindness ornaments! 

Sharing about our Thanksgiving break. This allows the kids to work on their presentation skills!

Working hard in writing class!
