Welcome to 5th grade
It's November and our fifth grade students are working hard on their academic subjects, as well as their sports and other activities. In Math, we are working with Decimals (Chapters 3-5) and remembering to "line up the decimal points!"
The month of November is the time when our church reminds us to remember and pray to All Saints and pray for All Souls. The students have created memorial cards in honor of their patron saints and also drawn pictures of "coins" in honor of their saints. They enjoy sharing their projects with Father Bright when he comes to visit.
We are looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday and making preparations for the great feast. Although it is not a holy day of obligation, many Catholics chose to begin Thanksgiving Day by attending Mass and receiving the Eucharist which actually means "thanksgiving". Some of our students will be volunteering their time at the 8:00 am Mass by helping to distribute bread.
As the Autumn weather brings cooler temperatures and shorter days, we are mindful of the changing seasons and the bountiful harvest to come. We reflect on the lessons of the harvest: that hard work yields fruitful blessings.
***Please remember to check Google Classroom daily for class notes and upcoming asignments.***

VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
Each month, the St. Agnes school community focuses and reflects on a different virtue.
The virtue for November is "Hospitality".
Hospitality is defined as the ability to provide a sincere "welcome" to others; to provide a place for others to feel at home.
This is the time of year when many of us find ourselves preparing our homes to receive family and friends for holiday celebrations. As we strive to follow the example of Jesus, we reflect that He always welcomed others, even those who lived on the margins of society.
As Christians, we are called to be mindful of those in need, especially during the holidays. We contribute to charity food drives and volunteer in ways that enable less-fortunate families to share in Thanksgiving celebrations and provide hospitality for their own families.
"Create in us, O Lord, a grateful heart."
