September 23, 2018 Good morning parents today we covered chapter 2 which was about the first murder between Cain and Abel and completed the activity book for that chapter.  Then we covered chapter 3 which was about Noah's ark and the tower of babel, how we came to speak other languages. Then we completed one page in the activity book.  I try not to give homework, but if you want to work in the activity book with them that would help.

October 21, 2018  Good Morning Parents,  Today we finished chapters 5 and 6 We did one page in the activity book for chapter 5 page 18 THE BIRTHRIGHT.  Chapter 6 we just read about Joseph and how he was the fathers favorite, how the father made Joseph a colored cloak.  How jealous Joseph's brothers were that they sold him to an Egyptian caravan.  Then how Joseph who had dreams, was able to interpret these dreams with God's help.  Joseph was able to interpret the pharaohs' dream about the seven fat and skinny cows.  How the pharaoh made Joseph a governor. That people had to bow down to him as Joseph had dreamt.  The children were excited about haloween they can wear their customes to class if they want.  Next week take them right to the church please along with the third grade Deacon Michael will be talking to them; as a favor to Mrs Kahley and myself.If your child wants to sing in the choir please return the permission form. Have a good week with God's Grace Miss Janis 

October 28, 2018  Good Morning Parents, As you know today we were in church with Deacon Michael.  He taught them the different stages of the Mass such as the very first thing the Priest and Deacon do they  bow.  That there are three kisses during mass, the same as kissing Christ. What the offertory is and the gifts that are brought up and where they came from.  He allowed them to come up and surround the alter and taught them about how the body of Christ becomes. Then he taught about your guardian angel. Next week is daylight savings time we fall back an hour.  I talked to your children about going to the adoration chapel and we will do that some point. This Thursday is All Saints Day, come to mass, it is a holy day of obligation.  The following day is All Souls Day, not a holy day, but there is a book to remember yours who have died, in the front of the church. Have a good week.  As always with God's Grace, Miss Janis
