recent happenings

It's been a busy few weeks. I hope you all enjoyed the school concert. 5th Grade practiced very hard with their songs and especially with playing their recorders.
Advent: Each Monday we have participated in an all-school Advent Prayer Service. During religion class Ms. Healy has been preparing the students for Christmas by reading and discussing the Advent Sunday Gospels.

In Math class we have been reviewing division by one digit. After the break, we will learn how to divide by two digits.

We finished another class novel - Bridge to Terabithia and watched the film version. It was fun to watch how the movie makers interpreted the magic of Terabithia and made it come alive with special effects.

The students have been learning and researching reports about the famous explorers of the 1400s-1600s, including Magellan and Columbus,
