Math

We are starting division with and without remainders. The students will use drawings to gain a deep understanding of the skill.

We are going to begin preparation for our Kartchner Caverns field trip. The students will learn about the geology of caves. 

Religion 

We will finish our Absolutely Advent book this week. It is a graded assignment.

Take a moment to pause and pray as we begin the Third week of Advent: 

God ever gentle, ever caring, you call us home from the exile of selfishness to the freedom of justice, the balm of healing, and the joy of sharing. Make us eager to join you in your holy work, as friends of strangers and victims, companions of those whom others shun, and as the happiness of those whose hearts are broken. We make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
