This month we will study the Apostles' Creed.  We will discuss the importance of family values and beliefs. We will understand that the Apostles' Creed states the basic beliefs of Catholics.  We will also discuss St. Patrick and the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

We will also focus on the season of Advent so we can prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. We will spend time in prayer, learn about the Jesse Tree, and discuss ways we can prepare for Jesus' birth.

In the fullness of time, God sent his Son, born of Mary to save us.

Galatians 4:4-5

This month our mini-theme is "Manners".  The students will "catch" each other being polite and using words such as please and thank you more often.

We will continue with our unit on measurement.  We are learning how to make conversions with customary and metric units of measurements.

We will also learn how to add and subtract measurements by making changes between customary units and by making changes between metric units of measurements.  Adding and subtracting measurements will also include time measurements.

Our next unit is on graphing data.

We will read and make double bar graphs and line and double line graphs. The students will learn how to choose which graph is most appropriate to display data.  They will also identify and analyze misleading graphs.
