Welcome to St. Patrick CCD Grade 4 with Mr. Rios and Mrs. McGinnis!

In this website, you will find an overview of what we talk about during Wednesday night CCD class. I will try to include a picture or two of what we have done. Also, I can post certain handouts on this website. Mr. Rios and I have been team-teaching Fourth grade CCD for 4 years. We have a lot of fun and we are able to work together to reinforce the teaching points. We use the “Blest Are We 4” series published by Pearson Education, Inc.©2008. The website for their series is http://www.blestarewe.com. I am trying to incorporate the church year holy days and seasons into our curriculum so we jump around in the book. We are very pleased to share our faith with your children. We look forward to a wonderful year.

May God be with you,
Mr. Ed Rios,  Mrs. Emilie McGinnis
