Health- We are wrapping up our lessons on depression. The students researched places someone who is suffering with depression could go for help. We also read about why some people are more depressed this time of year & strategies to deal with that depression. We also took a look at a depression screening quiz. Finally, & best of all, we wrote letters to parishioners in nursing homes to help cheer them up this holiday season!

Language Arts- The students have Christmas Around the World reports due on Tuesday. On Tuesday, they will share them in class. 

Reading- I will read the students my favorite Christmas story, Silver Packages, & they will write a mini essay based on the theme of the book. I will also share some of my other favorite Christmas stories!
I will also pass out the ook project for January in case anyone is feeling ambitious over break!
