Reading: Our theme this week is "Bright Ideas." We will be learning about the lives of Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin and how they made the world a "brighter" place.
Art: We finished Van Gogh "The Starry Night." Look for it in the hallways before Christmas. We will be working on several Christmas projects over the next two weeks. One project, a manger scene, we will take with us when we visit the Little Sisters of the Poor on Monday, December 17th. Look for these Christmas projects as we prepare our hearts for the coming King this season.
Character Development: This week we discussed comfortable and uncomfortable emotions or feelings. We listened to a story about a boy, Toby, who had uncomfortable feelings that he bottled up inside of him for one day and then felt like he was going to explode. We talked about healthy ways to express your feelings such as talking to a friend or an adult, drawing a picture, and writing in a journal.
Chapel Buddies: This week the fourth graders did a wonderful job helping the Kindergarten classes at Santa's Workshop.
