Religion
Students started Chapter 4 titled, Our Conscience, Our Guide. In this chapter they will learn that our conscience works before, during, and after we make decisions. They will gather ways and ideas to form their conscience since forming our conscience is always a work in progress.
We hope to make a booklet that can guide us while praying the rosary.
ELA
Students continue to have great discussions about the book Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary. Students will begin section 6 of the book which are pages 104-134.
