December was a very busy month for 5E. With our amazing Junior Choir we spread the Joy of Christmas for the elderly, the sick and the less fortunate people around us this year. We sang our hearts out to the Lord and ministered to the hearts of the people in need. As put by one of the students “It’s the most wonderful time of the year to share JESUS!
God Bless you all. I just want to give you an update of all the wonderful things that are taking place in 5E. First of all I want to thank all the students and parents for making our Christmas party a complete success. I also want to thank all the students who participated in our Christmas program.

In class 3 G we are working very hard in our Math class. The students are writing Math strategies with words and pictures to describe Math in a new and fun way.

1c made their own personal Number Corner Calendar. The children were asked to figure out their own equations for the day’s date. They were encouraged to use visual models of our calendar, ten strips and hundred grids to illustrate their own charts. They were given the opportunity to walk over to our wall display of the calendar and count and discuss with their classmates. They really enjoyed this time to do it on their own!!!
