October 10-Chap 3 and 25

This week we began by praying (as always). We divided up into 2 groups to read a prayer in our books.

Group 1:
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all you lands;
worship the Lord with cries of gladness;
come before hm with joyful song.

Group 2:
Know that the Lord is God,
our maker to whom we belong,
whose people we are.

Groups 1 and 2:
Give thanks to God, bless his name;
good indeed is the Lord,
Whose love endures forever.


Group 1
Group 2
Throughout Chapter 3 we learned and discussed several vocabulary words. We wrote them on our chart paper and tried to come up with our own definitions. Miss Stephanie says to please excuse her messy handwriting!
Here are the words we discussed in Chapter 3.
In Chapter 25 we learned about Mary and the saints. Below you can see some of the ideas that we came up with to describe Mary. Miss Stephanie didn't help us with them at all!

We also learned about the word Alleluia and we practiced saying it and signing it. We talked about Alleluia being a word of worship and praise.

Homework:
Chapter 3 reviews (40, 41, 42)

-Fill out the "certificate" with the saint name, your child's name, and the information you come up with (pictures, drawings, stories).
-On October 24th, each child will present his/her research to the class, wearing a costume that can be as easy or creative as you get!
