covers the sacraments of initation, the next on the sacraments of
healing and the last is the sacraments of service or vocation.
We
are
working on the
"Act of Love" .for our test next Thursday. Your child needs
to prepare for a test over Chapter 12 . It was in your child's
blue folder on Friday. Remember there is a link under "Homework Helps"
to Faith First, which
includes quizzes.

We
continue
reading about Mr. Popper and the penguins this
week. On Monday, the students will will make a cute penguin for
fun and classroom decoratio!.
We
will answer
questions and take
a test about the
story lupon completion. We will read . There are some links at the
bottom of this
page about
it. Instead of going through the long
process of
writing the
snowman
story mentioned under "January", I decided to have the
children complete a story using "traveling
stories". Six contributors, including your child helped complete
the story. Most stories were edited by a
student and an adult. Please come to our hallway to enjoy
the fun stories! I want to make them part of the Permanent
Writing Portfolios. One writing project is included each
semester. The
students have completed their cursive handwriting books and may use
erasable pens for all subjects except math. The students love
"Flashlight Friday"! We will continue it all month.
