Students worked on learning the 5 steps to Reconciliation in religion. They put together a Reconciliation booklet that they can use when they go to Confession.
In language students took their weekly tests. They also went to the library and participated in Jumprope for the Heart in PE.
In math we reviewed adding and subtracting mentally, using the tricks they learned this week.
We reviewed how to have a healthy heart.
The 6th grade classes came down and shared their mythology reports.
Students are working on being kind to one another, sharing what they have and not excluding, and following directions. They seem to be a little rusty and need some reminding. We talked about being a responsible Christian and an effective communicator in using our words to express ourselves without hurting feelings.
I am sure since we are back in a routine, life will get back to normal.
