Topics of Study For The Week

 

 

Language Arts—The reading skill for the week was drawing conclusions.  The grammar skill was using the correct verb form in a sentence. We also continued to work on our cursive handwriting.  We will start using cursive for most assignments when we return from vacation.

 

Religion—Students began discussing the 10 Commandments this week.  4th graders will go to Reconciliation next week.  Continue to practice their Act of Contrition prayer.  Students are also working on a Christmas gifts for their parents.  We are working on making our Reading Buddies a Christmas gift too.

 

My God,

I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.

In choosing to do wrong

And failing to do good,

I have sinned against you

whom I should love above all things.

I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance,

to sin no more,

and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.

Our Savior Jesus Christ

suffered and died for us.

In his name, my God, have mercy.

 

Social Studies—The students discussed the climate, geographical regions, and industry of the Northeast region this week.

 

Special Events
