Week of November 26 - 30, 2018

We Are Thankful!

The class remembered the many blessings in their lives by creating a Gratitude Tree.  Each member of the class filled out a leaf to show what they are thankful for and then the leaves were glued onto the tree to decorate it. 

It's Beginning to Sound A Lot Like Christmas
It's the Holy Child Academy tradition of the Lower School Christmas Show.  The Third Grade is in the midst of practicing and perfecting their lines, lyrics, and dances for this annual event.  Ms. Brown and I ask that you please go over your child's lines for the show.  Please have your child speak slowly and with expression to impress the guests at our shows. 

The Christmas Gala is on Monday, December 17th at 6:30 p.m. and the Grandparents' Day Show is on Tuesday, December 18th at 9:00 a.m.  More details to follow.
  

  

    



Dance Party

Students had fun during Community Time dancing in our first School Dance Party.  Here are three 3rd Graders doing the Whip Nae Nae!

Christmas Similes
Similes are a form of figurative language involving the comparison of  two things.  The students wrote their own original Christmas similes.
