Catholic Schools Week!
We look forward to celebrating the week with you! You are welcome to join your child for lunch next week, and always welcome to join us for Mass. We hope to see you here! Don't forget to support Family Fun Night on Wednesday from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Language Arts News:
"Christmas Is" book orders-
Many thanks to all of you for returning the book order forms marked with either a yes or no. The kit has been shipped and we expect the books to arrive in about one month. We are very excited!
Individual student books-
We are working on drafting our first draft of our individual stories, and we will be editing and getting these ready for typing them online soon. How can you help at home? Ask to see your child's story and go over it with them! Feel free to help edit and revise- there's only one of me and many of them, so it would be a great help if you want to jump in and assist your child with the writing. We want to produce the best stories we can since these are going to be published also. You will even be able to assist them with the story once it is typed online. Stay tuned for more details!
Christopher and Jeanette Canyon to visit!
We are excited to meet these talented illustrators! We looked at samples of their books today in class and students are working on writing a poem and illustrating it in the style of these inspiring artists.
Literature Circles
Our work with Frindle continues. We are halfway through this fun read, and will be completing a final project that utilizes all of our work thus far.
Math News:
Long division continues...and keeps getting longer! Today we worked on dividing into three digits. Keep practicing some at home. The more we practice, the easier the routine becomes.
Have a lovely weekend!

Book Project - Have you heard that we are book making? Students are currently completing a class book called "Christmas is..." We will be sending it off to a publisher and expect a hardbound copy in return! We will be donating the hardcover copy to J.O.I.N. You will be given the opportunity to purchase a copy for yourself if you'd like one. Students are very excited to be helping J.O.I.N., and to be in print! We also hope to start creating our very own individual books to be published in February. Stay tuned for more details!
