 Highlights from our Week:

• Christmas Program: We rehearsed a lot at the beginning of the week for this wonderful program!
• Math: Both 3^rd and 4^th grades reviewed for and took their math tests. Mrs. Dvorak went over them individually with the children, so they know how they did. We will begin new units after break.
• Religion: We continued to pray our Advent prayers, as well as learn about the weeks of Advent. We also attended a beautiful Reconciliation Service on Friday. Through our study of Advent, we have really learned that asking for forgiveness brings us peace.
• Grammar: The 3^rd graders continued learning about pronouns and that they are substitutes for nouns. The 4^th graders continued making their nouns and verbs agree so their sentences would make sense.
• Writing: The children wrote about the true St. Nicholas after learning about him. Look for those reflections which came home this week. The children also wrote a reflection on the real meaning of Christ
