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.

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

March 3, 2019 Good Morning Parents, Today we began class with the prayer of Saint Micheal the Archangel which we will be saying every Sinday during Lent. We gave a copy of this to each student which they keep in their books, so it can be said at home, if needed. Then we went to the Adoration Chapel, said the rosary then sat back and listen to Christ; since each child prayed for a special intention. Then we came back learned about Ash Wednesday and read the Lent supplement in the back of their text book. We have completed the Old Testament, and will begin the New Testament next week. They learned what BC and AD mean. Your children were very very good and asked excellent questions in the Adoration Chapel. With God's Grace...have a good week....Miss Janis
