Mrs. Hughes Third Grade - News From

Dear New Student,

I want to welcome you to third grade! I can’t wait to get to know you better. We have a terrific group of kids in our class. We’re going to have a wonderful, fun-filled year.

We’ll put on two shows, go on two field trips and enjoy learning together all year! We’ll learn cursive, multiplication and a lot about our country’s past. We have awesome religion books and science books. I am so excited about the stories we get to read!

I love teaching with all my heart. Please ask questions and ask for help if you need it. I am here to teach you and help you in any way I can. Your parents and I want you to achieve all you can this year. I trust you will enjoy the adventure of everything we’ll study this year. Get ready for the thrill of third grade!

Please bring a labeled water bottle to class tomorrow. I want you to be nice and comfortable during the warm weather. I’ll see you tomorrow, our first full day!

Love,

Mrs. Hughes

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am sorry for all my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against You, whom I should love above all things.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.I believe that your Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because You hath revealed them Who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.

Act of Hope

O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and mercy, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen

Act of Love

O my God, I love You above all things, with my heart and soul because You are all-good and deserving of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for love of You. I pardon those who have injured me and ask pardon of all those I have injured. Amen.

The Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead; the third day he rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. He will come again judge the living and the dead. I believe in theHoly Spirit; the holy Catholic church the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail Holy Queen, Motherof Mercy our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
