Classroom Corner Week of Dec. 8th

Religion- We are learning about Adam & Eve & how their choices affect us as modern day Catholics. We are also reading one of my favorite stories- the story of King David.  Test over Chapter 11 on Friday. 

Also, the students need to memorize The Confiteor- they will recite it for me on Friday before Confessions. Their correct reciting is for a grade.
