Saints

As part of our Social Studies Unit on Changing Family Traditions, we have been talking about

different ways people celebrate holidays, and the different traditions families have. 

Some countries don't celebrate Halloween, and save all celebrations for All Souls Day and All Saints Day.  In preparation for All Souls Day and All Saints Day, we are learning what a Saint is, and we are getting to know some different saints.  Click on the two links below to watch two quick videos on St. Francis and St. John Bosco.

St. John Bosco

Monday the students will be starting a project on how Halloween is celebrated in different parts of the world.  Stay tuned for the final products of the projects.

Thanks to one of our lovely students for  bringing in a beautiful book on Mother Teresa.
