Science News:  
The fifth grade scientists are learning about "Changes in Matter".  Students will practice identifying states of matter and use investigational evidence to show that matter is conserved during a physical change and chemical change.  Finally, students will explain what happens when different substances are mixed.  

Religion News:
Students will be focused on "Advent" as they prepare their hearts for the coming of Jesus.  One way they will do this is by going to confession.  Students will also learn about the Church's Liturgical Calendar and its seasons. 

The students are also learning about the ways in which Jesus fulfilled the Old Law.  He perfectly obeyed the Old Law and showed people how to live it.  Students are also focused on the virtues of "piety and obedience".  Those who practice these virtues give what is due to others while practicing the virtue of "religion".  Students will reflect on the following: Do you seek to give God what is due and love Him with your whole body, mind, and soul? Do you faithfully and attentively particiapte in the liturgies of the Church?


A note from Mrs. Magas:
We all look forward to seeing you at our Christmas Bell Concert!  The students have been working so hard to perfect their performance.  I wish all of my students and the entire St. Agnes family a blessed Advent season!
