We have three birthdays in our class to celebrate in December!  Mary on the 18th, Lorenzo M. the 19th and Lorenzo P. on Christmas Day!

Remember this week school ends early (11:30) on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for parent-teacher conference.

EDC is available at dismissal.

Our academics:

This week our  Christian Faith and Practice continues with preparations for Advent and focus on our Blessed Mother Mary.

Science- continues with our unit on health.

Social studies- people today and long ago; learning about Christmas traditions.

This week we will go to the library on Thursday morning to check out books. Please have your child return their book in order to check out a new one.

Blessing to your family,
