Our week in review. 12/20/24
Science…we continued to prepare for our school Science Fair and the Illinois Junior Academy of Science (IJAS) – Science Fair by conducting research and investigations, completing reference sheets, and formulating hypothesis. Students are to continue their investigations over the break.
Religion…we continued our understanding of waiting for Jesus, through his birth and his second coming, as we observed this Advent Season. The students recalled the meaning of the Jesse Tree to connect to Jesus being from “a shoot of Jesse” and a descendant of “King David”. Various Bible readings helped students to make connections to Jesus’ ancestors and their experiences. From this discussion, students charted their own family tree and shared stories about their ancestors.
On Monday, as a class community we conducted our Advent prayer. As a school community we came together in prayer during our weekly Tuesday Mass and our Christmas Mass on Friday. It was nice to come together in prayer as we all prepared to depart for our Christmas vacation.
God bless you and your families this Christmas season and always,
Mrs. Davis
