Thank you to Mary Campbell and Mari Briscoe
for coming with us to the IRT to see A Christmas Carol on Monday!


Math:

●• Test over these concepts THURSDAY

Reading:

Preparing our hearts for the birth of Jesus Christ!

●• Prayer for December is the Guardian Angel Prayer

Vocab/Spelling:

English:
●• Writing- We have moved on to descriptive writing. Students will write a descriptive essay on someone he/she admires.
●• Grammar- Identifying predicate nouns; Linking verbs

Social Studies:
●• Explorers Come to the Americas
We are learning about explorers from Portugal, Spain, France, and England.
We’ll make an explorer book next week!
●• I have encouraged students to read over their notes each week (even each night)! This will help them come test time – they will already have much retained and will not have to cram!

Science:
●• Had a blast with the cow eye dissection! If your student has not already told you about it, please ask them!
Moving on to LIGHT

Keep reading your AR books!
