Religion:  The focus is on Advent.  Students are invited join our class for the Mass on Tuesday at 10:30 to celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Mary. If you would like to watch the mass as a family, join the live Facebook stream through the parish page.

Math:  4.NBT.5: Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Reading with Mrs. Halley: Students will be given a variety of options to respond to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe during class time.
