Book List:
A full description of these books can be found at the "Reading for Fun" and "Resources" tabs on this site. This is the same list of books which each student received at our Spring Forward meeting last May. Additional copies are available at the school office. All of these books are set in the time period of the founding of our country. We will have several opportunities in the first few weeks to share what we have learned about Colonial America and the American Revolutionary War from these historical fiction and nonfiction books. I'm excited about the upcoming school year, and I'm looking forward to hearing your reviews of our summer reading! |

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
O Jesus, You who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, let me not be deceived by false teaching. Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for me. Amen. Mary, Undoer of Knots,
Pray for Us! A Prayer to Christ, the Divine Teacher
O source of all Wisdom, Christ the Teacher,
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Teach us to embrace the truths You have revealed to Your Church. Fill our souls with Your Grace that we may love God above all and our neighbors as ourselves. Christ Jesus, friend and Teacher most patient, bless us and teach us. O Light of the world, teach us always to follow You that we should not walk in darkness, but have forever the Light of Life! Amen. Archives
