Céad Míle Failte! A Hundred Thousand Welcomes!

Greetings CCS Scholars! I am so excited to be teaching History and Bible to our 4th graders again this year. In our History class we'll be studying the fall of the Roman Empire up to the Reformation of the church.  Get ready for the Barbarians and discover how one group of these ruffians became the root for the word "Vandalism". 

Knights, castles, crusades, monks running away and going into hiding to translate the Bible.  Why did the "Black Death" kill off so many people? We'll find out in our class



In Bible we'll be studying the last half of the Old Testament and covering the major and minor prophets. You'll discover what Elijah did with those pesky prophets of Baal, so we'll be kicking it off with a big bang and lots of fire. 
I'm looking forward to another great year here at CCS! -Ms. Boyd
